He was avoiding her. There was no possible other explanation. Which meant she was going to have to go to him. Her stomach churned. Why did this have to be so hard? She’d apologized. And then turned around and been insulting again. Details. Though at least this time he’d seemed more...sad, maybe, than angry. Progress?

Amy tossed the file folder containing the reams of paperwork proving that their school was within the guidelines for the school lunch program into a drawer. It was beyond her why the government seemed to care more about how many grams of fat each kid was eating than why most of them didn’t have a coat warm enough for the winter temperatures that were fast approaching, or why she had two seniors set to graduate who still couldn’t read above a fourth-grade level. Maybe the other issues didn’t sound as good from a campaign platform.

With a sigh, she pulled on the hem of her sweater and headed down the hall to Zach’s classroom. Hopefully he hadn’t run out early like yesterday. At least he’d given Terri a head’s up that he would be missing practice for the program. They’d need to start working on all the stage positions, movement, and transitions next week. Would the set be ready?

Zach nearly bumped into her as he turned into the hall. “Oh. Hi.”

“Hi, yourself. I was just coming to find you.” Amy tucked her hands in her pockets. Why was this awkward again?

He smiled. “Mission accomplished. What’s up?”

“We missed you at practice yesterday.” Amy gave herself a mental kick. That wasn’t the way to start out a conversation that would, hopefully, end with him agreeing to go out with her.

“Yeah. Sorry. I only had time to find Terri and let her know. Everything go okay?”

Amy nodded. “Yeah, yeah it was fine. We’re ready to start working on the stage next week, figuring out where everyone should stand, that kind of thing. Think the set’ll be ready?”

“Should be. I left instructions for the gang yesterday and when I peeked in this morning, it looked like they were done. Really it’s just a matter of getting it all in place and then praying it doesn’t fall over on someone.”

She swallowed. “Is that...do we really need to worry about that?”

He chuckled. “Gotcha. It’ll be fine.”

Amy managed a weak smile and tried to push the vision of eight-foot pieces of plywood toppling onto the kids as they sang and danced out of her head.

“Okay. Well. Have a good weekend.” Zach hitched the strap of his bag higher on his shoulder and turned.

“Zach. Wait.” Amy grabbed his arm. She licked her lips. “I didn’t come down here to talk about the program. I was...are you...could...”

An amused smile flirted with the corners of his mouth. He was enjoying this, wasn’t he? Amy frowned and blew out a breath. “Are you busy tonight?”

“I was going to sit at Season’s Bounty with Jackson.” He cocked his head to the side. “Why?”

“Can I come?” Amy bit the inside of her cheek.
