WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU FOOT-CRIPPLING
little devils?”
Maya rummaged in the passenger-side footwell among various
bags in order to find her heels, kicking off her trainers in favor of the more
fitting party footwear.
Upon opening the car door to a blast of ice-cold air, she paused to put
on her jacket before climbing out. How is it possible for the temperature to
drop about fifty bloody degrees when I’ve only traveled forty miles north?
Goodness knows how much colder it’d be when she continued on up the
road later that evening.
As she strode out along the gentle incline of the driveway, she was
distracted by the imposing size of the massive mansions on the cul-de-sac.
Her feet went out from under her, and she only just managed to grab hold of
a railing, narrowly preventing a fall onto her backside. “Shit!” Looking up,
she checked that none of Kirsty’s posh neighbors were around to hear her
yelling that expletive. A glance back down confirmed the subtle shimmer of

Though there had been a couple of items that had sentimental value, and
were smaller. Such as the vintage Royal Albert afternoon tea plate that she
would have loved to bring home in order for her and Liv to place scones
upon it and pretend to take tea with Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. But it had
been a gift from Rich’s mum, therefore Maya had relinquished it to him.
Rich didn’t even like afternoon tea, or scones. And he certainly wasn’t
partial to either Darcy or Bingley. But still, it was the right thing to do and,
in any case, she was getting too old to be pretending that she was a
character in a Jane Austen novel.
