Yes, I know I’ve crossed a line. But . . .

1. Robert is eighteen, a fully consenting adult

by law.

2. He initiated the relationship; he pursued

me. I am not complaining; merely making an

observation.

3. In four more months, our teacher-student

status won’t even exist anymore.

4. I’m crazy about him. I can’t help that he

came into my life four months too soon; he

stole my heart when I wasn’t looking. That I

don’t want it back even if he’s willing to hand

it over.

5. If I had a chance for a do-over, or an

opportunity to make corrections like I give my

students when they screw up a test, I’d take a

pass.

I even think that Maya would approve of the

person I’ve chosen, though she might not be too

keen about the circumstances. I think I can trust

her, and I consider taking a left at the next traffic

light and heading over to her house.

Maybe I just want someone to share the burden

of my secret with. Maybe I want to be told that the

heart trumps the law. But I don’t make the left turn.

Being careful means that no one, no one, can

know. In June I will shout it from the rooftops— I

love Robert Westfall! —but for now, I have to

think of ways to sweep a branch across my tracks.

I call Jennifer Went. Let them gossip about that

for a while.

“Hey, partner!” she answers, brightly.

“Hey,” I respond. “You up for a movie

tomorrow night?”
