Chapter 19

Jenny came in after the bus, and Heather told her all about dinner and Peter’s invitation to New York. Jenny was thrilled and offered to take the kids if her mom couldn’t. Hayes didn’t have a tournament, so it would be an easy weekend for her mom to watch the kids, assuming she was free. Before Jenny left, Heather got a call from the middle school. It was the clinic. Heather hung up looking completely pissed.

“You’re never going to believe this - Hayes has freaking lice. I have to go pick him up.”

“Oh no. You go get him, and I’ll strip his bed and throw it in the wash. It will be one less thing you have to do.”

“I’m not even going to say no. Thank you.”

Heather left, and Jenny stayed to help her. Heather called her mom on the way up to the middle school and explained what she was doing and then dared to ask her if she could stay with the kids overnight on Saturday. Her mom seemed a little surprised Heather was planning a trip with Peter so quickly. Or maybe it was Heather who was so surprised and was projecting her own fears and insecurities about it into all of her conversations. Nonetheless, her mom said she would be happy to do it. Heather planned to text Peter after she took care of Hayes.

Heather limped her way into the clinic and found an itchy Hayes. The nurse gave Heather the lice lecture. Hayes’ hair would have to be checked for live bugs tomorrow before he was allowed to come back to school. They found it after going through each kid’s hair in his English class. Five of them had lice, and they had all been sent home. Of course, the whole class then knew who had lice, so it was like they had been branded. A branding in middle school was a tough thing to get rid of. Hayes and Heather headed home after they stopped at Rite Aid to pick up a lice kit. The rest of the morning was spent ridding Hayes’ head of lice and washing everything in the house just in case.

Heather was so busy she missed two texts from Peter.
