EXCERPT
She crossed the room, knelt down beside the tree, and searched for the plug. “Naturally,” she muttered through a disgusted hiss, “the plug would be located at the very back against the wall.”
Sliding down on her stomach, she grunted and inched herself under the low branches just as a deep male voice asked, “Can I help?”
Startled, Natalie jerked upright. Her head crashed into some low hanging branches. Ornaments, dislodged from the tree, rained down and bounced onto the floor, rolling away.
“Yeeeoow,” she shrieked, and slid backwards into the still lit, but semi-dark room.
“It’s only me,” Julien said.
“Do you always sneak around?” she grumbled, shaking needles from her hair and shoulders. “You’re lucky you’re not wearing this tree.”
“My, my, someone is prickly tonight.”
She rubbed the top of her head and glared at him. “Now I have to crawl back there twice to get those darn lights turned off.”
A deep laugh rumbled out over her head. “Here,” he held out his hand to help her up. “Are you hurt?”
“No,” she said through gritted teeth and swatted at the top of her head. “Everyone loves pine pitch in their hair, right?”
