Brynn

Brynn stared at the door after them, shook her head in confusion, and wondered what that had been all about. Looking around the environment she had created, she realized that Josh was right. This room was her. How had he known she’d been responsible for its design and implementation? Could he really see all of the heart and love she’d put into making it just right for these kids? All of her heart that she’d put into it? She felt a little breathless recalling the way he’d looked at her with such amazement.

When she’d begun the program on a miniscule budget just two years ago, there hadn’t been funding for all of the equipment they now had, and they’d relied a lot on decorations and things they’d been able to procure from the “freebie” table in the teachers’ lounge—all cast offs from teachers tired of seeing the same things in their rooms year after year. After two years’ success, an ever-growing list of students enrolled in the program, and finally receiving the funds from a small grant she’d written in the beginning, she had finally, just this year been able to create the space she’d envisioned all along.

She’d worked on the design all summer, spent weeks shopping at the different educational stores in town and online, checking out yard sales for quality pieces of furniture and book cases she could refurbish, etc. It had all come together seamlessly and she couldn’t be prouder.

Gina stuck her head through the door and grinned like the Cheshire Cat.

“So…I see Mr. Davis spent an awfully long time in here picking up Brendan…,” her voice trailed off, waiting. If that weren’t obvious enough, her brow arched and those dark eyes of hers, the color of old pennies, narrowed into tiny, dark lashed slits. Though she was only half Hispanic, sometimes Gina’s Latina heritage slipped through more heavily when she was displeased or testing someone. She tapped her toe in impatience, crossed her arms, and then widened her eyes pointedly. “Well?!”

“Uh, not really? Brendan was finishing his homework and you know the munchkin has to hug every single person in the room before he leaves,” Brynn waved her left hand dismissively in Gina’s direction.

“Right. He wouldn’t let me call for Brendan. He insisted on going in there himself, you know. I’m telling you. He likes you, girl.”

Gina’s voice had lost most of the teasing edge and had taken on a slightly more serious tone Brynn wasn’t expecting. She looked up and into the dark eyes of her friend.

“What’s going on, Gina? You sound weird,” she spoke in a low voice so the other kids wouldn’t over hear anything they shouldn’t.

Gina’s grin had morphed into a more calculating expression and she kept her voice cautiously low when replying, “Girl, you know I love you like my own family. But I see the way he looks at you, and I see the way you look at him when you don’t think anyone’s watching. I know there’s something there. I don’t see you ever look at Caleb that way…not that I see much of Caleb these days, but still.
