Chapter Eleven

A couple weeks had passed since the retirement party, and things between Liam and Rachel remained awkward. They would give each other a curt nod or a brief glance when passing in the halls, but they didn’t speak. Instead, Rachel went about focusing her attention on her new job, paying no mind to what Liam O’Brien was doing—well, she tried not to, anyway.

The school would be testing at the end of the following month, and she planned on getting together with the staff to see how her curriculum change was going. She’d recently met with the superintendent, who had harshly reminded her about the importance of her position and the need to get the school on track. She’d walked away from the meeting a little shaken up, knowing she needed to get the school in line if she wanted her contract renewed for the following school year.

One Thursday evening, Rachel was at home going over a mock skills test for the students when her phone rang.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Hello, Rachel, dear,” Mary O’Brien sang out. “I was thinking about baking some of those muffins you loved. My daughter and my adorable granddaughter are coming out for a visit this weekend. They live in Seattle and just called me a little while ago, saying they’re going to be here Saturday.”

“Oh, that’s nice that they’re driving over. How will the pass be with that snow we just got?” Rachel asked, remembering the fiasco with the moving truck a month earlier.

“Maggie, my daughter, says it’s pretty clear. Anyway, I know I promised to show you how to make my muffins.”

Rachel appreciated Mary’s thoughtfulness, and she was itching to get out of the house. Since the meeting with the superintendent, she had pretty much left her home only to go to work and get groceries so she could keep her mind on business.

“Also, I was thinking we could throw in a little cooking lesson perhaps,” Mary suggested warmly.

“You know what, that sounds great, Mary. When would you like to get together?” Rachel asked, throwing caution to the wind. She deserved a little downtime, and she couldn’t refuse a chance to eat some more of those scrumptious muffins.

“I was thinking perhaps Saturday morning if you are available. My daughter could use a lesson in the kitchen as well, and I think she will just love you,” Mary added with a hopeful sigh.

“Sounds good. Can I bring anything?”

“Nope, only yourself, my dear.”
