Chapter Thirteen

Maria stood by the car and waited for Michael to come out of the school building. She was so excited to see him after his first day she came twenty minutes early. She looked into the car to make sure Izzy was alright before she turned back to the huge metal gates. She had managed to talk herself calm, but she needed to see Michael to be completely calm. She pulled out the phone Dave had gotten her to check the time again, there were five minutes left and several text and voice messages from Dave.

She hadn’t bothered to call him back, she was sure once he heard her voice he would know she wasn’t okay, the man picked up emotions like a canine police unit picked up scents. She was going to call him back, right after she felt calm enough to, right after Michael was safe in her arms.

The building’s wooden doors opened and kids began to rush out. Maria felt giddy and happy when she spotted Michael laughing and talking with three other boys. He was so unlike her, capable of making friends so fast. She was a little surprised when she saw a man in a grey suit walk out behind them. He stopped at the gate and waved at her when he spotted her, Maria laughed realizing that Dave had gone overboard with keeping Michael safe, but she appreciated it, making her like him even more.

“Mama!” Michael yelled, running to her open waiting arms. She hugged him tight, all the fear and anxiety slipping away.

“So how was your first day?” She opened the door and put him in next to Izzy. She shrieked happily when she saw him.

“It was great. I missed you too.” hugging her.

Maria rushed to the driver’s side and got in. She handed Michael the phone before she pulled the car out of the parking lot, “Call Dave and tell him we are on our way home.”

“Hello Maria.” Dave jumped from his seat, unable to contain his relief, he had thought something bad had happened to her and Izzy.

“Hi, mama says to tell you we are on our way home.” Michael sang out.

Dave smiled, he was glad to hear his voice, but he would have preferred to hear Maria’s. He needed to know if she was still mad at him, and the fact it was Michael who called only meant she was, “Tell her she doesn’t have to cook. I’m bringing pizza to celebrate your great day at school.”

“How did you know I had fun?”

“I’m psychic. See you soon.” He hung up, then picked up his briefcase and walked out of the office. He still had a lot of work to do, but he needed to get home, Michael would definitely want to talk about his first day and he needed to fix things with Maria. Besides, he had spent too much time in his office and very little at home, he needed to make time for his family.

Todd rushed behind him with a paper in his hand, “Where are you going, we aren’t done yet?”

“I’m going home.
