CHAPTER 18

The week dragged on and on and on. Every time I looked at a clock, it was as if the time had just frozen in place, and I was spending hours fiddling around doing absolutely nothing of note. The only upside was the texts which hadn’t stopped once they started. At least I had those to look forward to all day, and they kept me motivated to at least not fall asleep in my chair and spend a few hours watching the backs of my eyelids.

My freelance work wrapped up, I was focused primarily on our own website and some of the app stuff that Kane asked me to fix. A few months back, he and Danica had developed a new app with me that kept track of various strains of grape, what temperature each day was, how much sun they got, and a whole host of other stats that made him all excited. It was like a baseball nerd and the backs of baseball cards—he could rattle statistics off the top of his head and seemed to have an idea about how to get every single grape in the vineyard growing better.

The issues with the app were rather simple, mostly integrating new menus for other things that were already being tracked but not being shown on certain screens. Once I had them showing or easily accessible, Kane was good, and I was done. That meant my job would slowly transition from developer to tech support, though I was hoping if it took off that the app would be put on the market and sold and that we could hire a tech support person to handle it.

I had a few things I wanted to talk about with him, namely new developments in the graphical engine department, and had a whole manilla envelope full of stuff to talk to him about. But early in the week, Camilla had let me know he had called out sick, and each day she mentioned he hadn’t returned. The worry was he had gotten the same stomach bug she had, and she was going to be covering for him until he was back.

With Camilla taking over his classes, I took it upon myself to send a steady stream of encouraging messages. With as often as we already were messaging, it was at least another reason to keep them up, and she seemed really happy to get them. I could only imagine the stress of taking on that responsibility, especially as a new teacher. It would be overwhelming for me, and the students were well aware of who I was.

Text message after text message, we spent the day talking ahead of our date. Our original plans for Friday were a little mixed up now that she was working during the day and would have some papers to grade before she could leave. I knew she might
