CHAPTER 2

“Thanks again for my special snack, Miss Kinkaid. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Alfie Hollis stood in the doorway of my classroom, waving at me with a bright smile.

Unlike a lot of schools, The Day School hadn’t yet imposed a ban on parents bringing treats to school on their children’s birthdays and other special occasions. The parents were asked to keep their selections allergy friendly, but they seemed to consider this as a suggestion, not a requirement. I’d anticipated the problem and stocked the bottom drawer of my desk with dried fruit and vegan, nut free cookies so Alfie would never be left out.

“You’re welcome, Alfie. Have a good night.”

“You too, Miss Kinkaid.”

He darted into the hallway and I shut down my laptop. I’d had a long, exhausting day complete with an injury report after one student whacked another upside the head with a wooden train. The principal and I were scheduled to meet with both sets of parents the following afternoon and I’d given my entire class a long talk about the importance of sharing. When the dismissal bell finally rang, all I wanted to do was go home, change into my pajamas, and have a lazy night with Ben. I locked up my classroom and found him in the school gymnasium shooting free throws.

“Nice shot,” I called out as the ball swooshed through the net. He turned to me with a charming smile.

“Thanks, babe. How was your day?” He dribbled the ball toward me and then tucked it under his arm as he leaned down to kiss the top of my head.

“My day was terrible.” I leaned all my weight against him. “Are you ready to go? I thought we’d lay around my place and maybe order dinner in.”

“I wish I could, baby. I have practice at the club tonight. And after, I’m meeting with the volunteer moms about the cheer program they want to start, remember?”

“That’s right,” I sighed. “I forgot all about that. Do you want to come to my place later?”

“I need to stay home tonight. The landlord is stopping by in the morning to look at the garbage disposal. I’m sorry, baby. I can tell you’ve had a rough day. Do you want me to cancel practice?”

I shook my head. “No. I wish you could hang out with me, but I don’t want the kids to be disappointed.”

“You could go to my place. I’m not sure what time I’ll be home. But we could have a little time together.”

“That’s okay. I really feel like being home right now. Tomorrow night?”

“It’s a date,” he agreed. “Go home, take a hot bath, and pamper yourself. I’ll call you when I leave the club.”

I leaned in for a quick hug and then turned toward the door. “Have a good practice,” I called over my shoulder.

“Thanks, baby. I’ll talk to you soon.”

The sound of his basketball bouncing off of the court echoed down the hallway as I made my way out of the building. I slid behind the
