Chapter 13

Slam!

What was that?

Grace blinked her eyes open to a dark room, and for a moment, she couldn’t recall where she was. The last thing she remembered was hanging the dress. Then lights out.

It all was a bit dreamlike. It was that strange sensation a person got when they slept soundly during the day that threw off their body clock. Especially having gone to sleep when it was light out and awoken when it was dark.

At a glance to the clock, she’d panicked. She’d been asleep for over two hours! There was no way she’d make the booze bus to the banquet. She jumped out of bed and clicked on all the lights. She was thirsty, but the glass on her bedside table was empty. And she had to pee, really bad. She should make herself a proper meal, but there wasn’t really time. And she’d have to drive Bluegill. Sheeit. That was gonna suck.

Grace used the walls to keep her upright to get out of the room and down the stairs to the bathroom and then the kitchen. The lights were out, and the boys had gone. The slam of the door was what most likely had woken her up.

Instead of preparing some brown rice, chicken breast, and veggies, a good meal for diabetics, and one that she’d eaten a million times in her lifetime, she grabbed a microwaveable meal of Del’s from the freezer and chucked it into the microwave.

At the mirror in the bathroom, she tried to resurrect her curls. They weren’t as bouncy as before but looked better this way, in Grace’s opinion. Not so unnatural, more like a curl caused from salt spray. She must not have tossed and turned while sleeping like she usually did. Wow, that was some sleep. Her makeup was still pretty good, too.

In her room, she carefully pulled the dress from the plastic and admired the garment one last time before yanking off her clothes down to her bra and panties. She considered fresh ones, but that would mean digging around her laundry basket, and she was already late. The black T-shirt bra and mismatching blue striped underwear would have to do.

She tugged the dress over her head and let the soft fabric fall. It was simple yet elegant, a shimmery blue-green scoop neck. It came just above her knee. Jewelry? She hadn’t even thought of it. She had a pair of old silver dangly earrings she could use, and that was about it. She did remove her sports watch, though, that left a band mark around her wrist. Lovely.

No time! Grace grabbed the black heels and rushed downstairs. She yanked the steaming meal from the microwave and pulled back the cardboard. At the last minute, she grabbed a tea towel and shoved it in the top of her dress so she wouldn’t splatter. She started eating before it cooled and, dayum, burned the roof of her mouth.

She was puffing and blowing, but no time! She took another mouthful and burned her tongue, but swallowed it down with a drink of water.
