“I just found out I have a job interview with a computer company at two today,” Kate said to Trevor. She had just called him and it was nine in the morning. “I know this is out of the blue, but is there any chance you could come over and babysit Luis and Anna while I go to the interview? It’s a Jewish holiday today, so Luis’s not in kindergarten. I totally understand if you can’t, but I thought I should still check. My mom and Joanna can’t do it, and I can’t get hold of the nanny I usually use.”

“I’m so glad you called me, Kate,” Trevor replied warmly. “Of course I’ll come and take care of the kids for you so you can go to the interview! You know I work from home, so it’s really no problem and I love your kids. How long do you need me to stay with them?”

Kate’s shoulders relaxed as all the tension left them. “Really, you can do it? Wow, you’re the best! Thank you so much. I would just need you for a couple of hours.”

“Sounds good. When exactly do you need me to be there?”

“Do you think you could be here at one thirty? The company is less than a ten-minute cab ride away, but I want to leave early in case there’s lots of traffic. You never know with this city.”

“I’ll be there at one twenty. How’s that?”

“Oh, that would be great. Are you sure you’re okay doing this for me on such short notice? I feel bad now putting you on the spot.”

“Kate, please. Of course I’m okay with it. I’m glad to be of help.”

She sighed happily, thinking about how lucky she was that she had kept this man in her life after all. He was just so incredibly nice. What would she have done without him? They exchanged a few more words before they hung up.

As Kate stood up and went out to the hallway, heading for the bathroom where she would take a shower, she bumped into her son. Luis was coming out of the kitchen.

“Who did you speak to, Mommy?” he asked, stopping in front of her.

“I spoke to Uncle Trevor,” she answered, caressing her son’s soft head. “He’ll come over here in a few hours to be with you and Anna while Mommy goes to her interview for the job at the computer company.”

Luis threw up his arms in the air and swung them around. “Yay! Uncle Trevor will come and play with me again! Woo-hoo! Can we have ice cream too?”

Kate smiled at her adorable little son and said in her most stern voice, “Only if you promise me you’ll behave.”

“Ice cream, yay!!” Not seeming like he had understood that her response had been a condition, not a green light, Luis took off and ran around in circles, waving his hands happily. Anna came out of the kitchen then, spotting Luis’s happy dance and joining in the way she always did when her brother jumped around.
