The smile on my face just won’t seem to fade away. I’m still on cloud nine from the date Bryce and I went on this past weekend, not to mention extremely excited about the trip we’ll be taking to Connecticut next weekend. I’ve never been on an airplane before and I’m glad my first time will be with Bryce. People have told me that flying is pretty nerve wracking your first time, so I’m glad he’ll be there with me to keep me calm.

Our first “real date” went really well and I can’t wait to spend more time with Bryce outside of my house. Sure, my home is cozy, but both of us want to get out and wander a bit. Hold hands in public. Kiss with other people seeing. A weekend away in Connecticut is exactly what we need.

I try my best to hide my chipper mood because I’m at work and I don’t want anyone to suspect anything. After all, my husband just died recently, so it would seem a little odd if I walk around with a smile on my face all day. The kids aren’t here yet, so I find something to do to keep myself occupied before they arrive. I hang up the finger paintings my students did on Friday, whistling happily while dreaming of Bryce.

“You’re in a good mood today,” my co-worker Alina remarks, startling me. I had no idea she had even waltzed into my classroom.

“Alina, you scared me,” I say, trying to wipe the smile off my face.

“Sorry,” she says, studying me closely. She’s always been nosy and loves to probe people until she knows all about their business. I can tell she wants information out of me, but I don’t plan on giving her any. “So what has you so chipper on a Monday morning?”

“Just these finger paintings,” I lie, glancing at the artwork in my hands. I turn my back toward her and continue to hang the pictures, but I can still feel her eyes beaming through me in search of answers. Hopefully she doesn’t linger around my classroom too long. I’m sure she has some work she needs to take care of for her own students.

“How was your weekend?” Alina asks. I can tell she isn’t going away easily. She can sense that something is up with me and she’s not going to stop until she knows what.

“It was okay,” I say. “I didn’t do much, except stay home and clean. That’s about it.” In reality, I went on a marvelous date with my lover Bryce and then came we went back to my place and made love until the wee hours of the morning, both of us climaxing all night long. But I can’t exactly say that because it’d shock her socks off. “How about you?” I ask politely.

“Mine was okay, I went on a date with this new guy,” she says. Good, if I can get her to talk about herself maybe she’ll move off the subject of me.
