Lying naked on her back, her breasts fell open, pointing to the outside. Like the rest of her, they were perfect—just enough to fit in his hands, with peach-colored nipples that angled upward, like the tilt of her freckled nose. She smiled as he circled one areola with his fingertip. “So, why high school English? I see you more as a kindergarten teacher.”

She laughed. “Me? No way. You have to wear Christmas sweaters to teach kindergarten. No, I always wanted to be an English teacher. Literature is my life. I was the kid who always had her nose in a book—reading chapter books by the end of kindergarten. Take me to a bookstore and I could stay for hours—holding books, smelling them, studying their jackets, curling up in a chair and savoring the first crack of the spine.”

Having succeeded in making her nipple stand at attention, he moved onto its twin. Still in a post-coital languor, she lowered her lids to half-mast and regarded him.

“Do the kids give you a hard time?”

“Nah, not after the first week or so. I figure my job is to teach them to love literature as much as I do. They come in thinking Shakespeare’s an old dead guy and they leave quoting Hamlet’s soliloquy, not because I make them, but because they realize it rocks. And that is what I love about my job.”

Her passion lent a glow to her words, and he realized he’d never felt that way about anything, especially not his job.

“You really do love it, don’t you?”

She smiled. “Yeah. The first time I got a kid excited about a book, I knew I’d found my calling. Maybe it’s not as impressive as most jobs, but I know it’s my purpose in life.”

He stared at her, every hair on his limbs and head standing on end. Purpose in life. But what was it about those words was his intuition telling him to pay attention to? What did he need to know about his purpose in life?
