As school was letting out, Matthew and David were standing in the door. Cate was hugging her students and telling them goodbye, when she looked up and saw them. Her first thought was something was wrong and that they had come to give her bad news.

“Is there something wrong with my mother?” she asked, holding her breath.

Realizing they had alarmed her by their presence, Matthew and David, both spoke, “Everything is all right. We have a surprise for you, an early Christmas present.”

“An early Christmas present…” Cate’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the two of them.

“Yes, we’ve made arrangements for you to go home for a visit,” Matthew said.

Astonished at what she had heard, Cate asked, “Home?”

“Home,” David said, “and you can stay until after the New Year.”

“What? How?”

“Yep, it’s all arranged,” Matthew said happily.

“But, the cost,” Cate objected.

“No cost, it’s free,” Matthew said.

Trying to grasp it all, Cate repeated, “Free.”

“Free,” David said.

“But, how?”

“Don’t worry about how,” Matthew answered.

“But, what about my classes?”

“All arranged,” Matthew said.

“What about someone to stay with Sarah when you’re away?” Cate asked, as she looked at David.

“Everything has been taken care of. All you have to worry about is packing,” David assured her.

“When do I leave?” Cate asked, as it finally sank in.

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow, what time?”

“Around ten o’clock in the morning.”

“I don’t know who exactly is responsible for this or how it was accomplished, but I’m very grateful. I couldn’t get a better present,” Cate said, with a happiness in her voice that hadn’t been there for a while.

“We, Dr. Patterson, and a mutual friend helped and we were all glad to do it,” Matthew said.

“Well, I’ll hug you two now, and Dr. Patterson and your friend later.” Cate said, as she hugged them. “I guess I had better let my parents know that I’m coming home and then pack.”

“They already know,” David said. “I talked to your dad this morning.”

Cate shrugged, “Well, I guess I need to pack.”

Matthew took her arm, “I’ll walk you home.”

“And, I’ll see you tomorrow,” David said.

“Huh,”

“Matthew and I are taking you to the airport.”
