Chapter 19

The next day at work, Misty crossed her legs, and swung her office chair toward the window. She stared at the people strolling down the sidewalk. Sterling was her friend and nothing more. She needed to focus on that. His chocolate brown skin, muscular arms and legs, his handsome face and kind mocha-colored eyes… she needed to stop thinking about his physical attributes. But, she was drawn to him for more than just his exquisite looks. His kindness stunned her, literally. She was so used to fending for herself, doing things for herself but it felt kind of nice to have somebody there to help her if she needed it.

Well, she didn’t plan on relying on him very much. Yes, she’d fetch a ride with him to the soup kitchen on Wednesday nights, but, other than that, she didn’t think she’d need his help for anything else. She’d found it was best not to rely on people very much. The only person she could depend on was herself. She shook her head. She’d spent enough time daydreaming about Sterling. It was time for her to pick up Jennifer. She’d taken the afternoon off from work so that she could take Jennifer to Juliette’s for the open house.

Since she’d been working with Carmen, she’d noticed the woman seemed to be sharp and to the point. She’d pondered telling Carmen about her dream of sending Jennifer to Juliette’s. After careful thought, she’d decided not to tell her. She figured Carmen might laugh, just as Sterling had. Also, Carmen had not seemed sympathetic when she’d spoken about leaving Jennifer at the daycare. She figured Carmen would not understand her deep desire to provide the best education for her daughter. Carmen didn’t have any kids, so, she wasn’t sure if she’d understand.

She rushed from the office and got into her car. She checked the time. She had an hour to get Jennifer and head over to Juliette’s. After driving as fast as possible, she finally pulled into the driveway of the daycare. She rapped on the door and Lucy opened it, her hair frazzled. Two kids were crying and Jennifer lay on the couch, her eyes sad. “What’s wrong?’

Lucy closed the door. “I had to send one kid home with a stomach virus this morning. Jennifer has been cranky all afternoon. She doesn’t have a temperature, but, I’m sure she doesn’t feel well.”

Misty rushed over to the couch. “Are you okay, honey?”

“My head hurts.”

Now what was she going to do? They really needed to go to that open house. She really wanted to tour the school, maybe talk to some of the parents and get to know the teachers. She also wanted the staff to meet Jennifer. Once she warmed up to people, she could be quite charming – her daughter’s charm could be one more asset when they were considered for acceptance. She touched Jennifer’s forehead. She didn’t feel warm. “Come on, Jennifer.” After she’d said goodbye to Lucy, she made her way back outside to her car, strapped Jennifer into her car seat.
