"All right!" Maura shouted back from her room. "See you later, Mum!" She got up out of bed and clattered downstairs where she took a right and ended up in the family room. It was a large yet cozy room with a fireplace and lots of comfy chairs, and a long white sofa. Cedar paneling covered the walls, except around the fireplace, where it was brick. The carpet in here was the green-blue of the ocean in the Caribbean. Maura sat on the sofa and reached behind her, where there was a large bookshelf. She pulled out one of her favorite books and started to read.
