CHAPTER 11

Piper arrived at school with a spring in her step on Friday morning. The last couple of days had been the stuff of dreams. Nash would come in and “say” hello every morning before school got started. He also sat next to her in the teacher’s lounge during lunch and they often met for dinner. Today she carried an extra duffel bag with her. It had warmer clothes for her to wear to the football game tonight. She cracked a grin as she thought of her attempt to guess what Nash was asking last night. She was starting to get better at reading him, but their evenings often included a one-sided round of 20 questions.

“Game.” Nash said as they finished up dinner.

Piper wiped her mouth, then set her napkin in her lap. “Game? Uh... okay. Are we talking a specific game here?”

He nodded.

“Game, game, game. Did you want to play a game tonight?”

His eyes twinkled with mischief, but he only shook his head.

Piper felt her telltale blush hit as she realized how her words could have been construed. “Uh, thank you for letting that one go.” She cleared her throat. “I’m afraid I’m lost with the game thing.”

Nash took a deep breath then seemed to concentrate hard before saying, “Football.”

“Oh! You have a football game?”

He nodded.

“Is it tonight?”

Head shake.

“Soon? Oh wait, tomorrow is Friday. It must be tomorrow, right?”

He smiled.

“Well great. Was there something particular about this game?”

His head nod was followed by a specific tilt towards her.

“Me? I’m the something particular about this game?” She was confused before she finally realized what was going on. “Are you asking if I will come to the game?”

Her efforts at translation were rewarded as he leaned across the table to give her a quick kiss.

“Dancin’ Darcy. You promise me more of that and I’ll be at every game for the rest of the season.”

He chuckled and caressed a finger down her cheek, followed by a quick nod of agreement.

Piper was so caught up in the memory of last night that she didn’t see who was waiting for her at the doors to the library.

“Oof!” Was followed by a thud as someone fell to the ground.

“Ornery Obiwan! Mrs. Merryweather! Not again! How is it I never seem to see you until it’s too late? I’m so sorry!” She quickly dropped her bags and helped the woman to her feet.

After patting her unmoving helmet of hair, and straightening her shirt, the secretary brushed off the apology. “Not to worry, my dear. Happens all the time.”

“I’ll bet it does.” Piper muttered under her breathe.

“What was that, dearie?”

“Nothing, nothing. Was there something I can do for you this morning?”

“Oh, I just came to check on things. Never can be too careful, you know.”

“Oh? Check on what exactly?” Piper tilted her head to the side as she tried to figure out what Mrs. Merryweather was referring to.

“Your hair.”

“My hair?” Now she was really confused.

“Yes. Did it work?”

“Uh...I’m not sure what you’re referring to, Mrs. Merryweather. I haven’t done anything with my hair,” Piper explained.
