Tuesday was another busy day, students needed me almost all day and I had to schedule another parent conference for Friday. I was missing TJ even more than yesterday. At lunch I decided I would call him just to talk to him for a few minutes. I got his voice mail and figured he was probably busy with work and meetings.

“Hi, it’s Danni…” I stopped for a second thinking it was awkward to call myself, Danielle and only liked it when TJ used my name. “I just wanted to say Hi, and that I miss you. I hope you’re having a good day. Call me later, bye.”

Before going home I stopped at the grocery store because I knew I had nothing at home to eat and then made a quick stop by my mom’s house to hear about her good news. She was promoted to Assistant Manager and she would be getting a slight pay raise and was really happy.

“So, Danni how was your weekend with TJ?” I could hear the excitement in her voice. I knew she would want all of the details.

“It was good, mom.” I knew she wasn’t going to settle for “just good”.

“Are you kidding, just good? Come on, Danni. Please tell me you did not push that boy away.”

I thought about the night when we got back from Asheville and almost did just that. “Of course not.”

She knew there was more to this story. “Danni, I love you, I want to see you happy and be with someone that I know will care for you and love you. I believe TJ will do those things. He is a great guy, and I can tell he adores you just by the way he looks at you.”

Great, now I was sure she was going to pull out the bridal magazines and knitting books on baby blankets. “What are you talking about, the way he looks at me?”

She looked at me and I could tell she knew I knew what look she was talking about and I did, because I saw it in his eyes our last night together in Asheville.

“Oh, honey, please, TJ looks at you like your father looked at me, like no one else matters,like you’re the only person in a crowded room. Danni,” she reached for my hand. “I’ve seen the way you look at him, and it’s the same way.”

She was right, but talking to my mother about my love life was a little much for me.

“I should get going, it’s getting late.” I said goodbye and told her would stop by this weekend. I still hadn’t heard from TJ yet since I left him his message, and was starting to worry. I realized how worried he must have felt when I didn’t answer his calls. The worry grew as I drove home.

My phone started ringing as I was trying to unlock the door to my apartment. I was in a hurry to get inside as an uneasy feeling was lingering in the pit of stomach from the moment I stepped out of the car.
