Heartfire
“He was looking forward to this weekend, to the fair in the park and the softball games, being out in the air and sun instead of cooped up in the house with Tessa, all too aware of her presence.
When the doorbell rang, it startled him. Answering the back door, he found two of his students on the porch.
The tall, red-headed boy with freckles grinned. "Hey, Coach. Jenny and I are here to talk about the dance. You got the time?" Jenny, a pretty blonde with a shy smile, said, "I told Kevin we sh...ould call first. If this isn't a good time, we can come back later." Max hesitated. The kids should have had the dance planned down to the last detail before now. They'd e-mailed him with a few ideas but hadn't solidified anything. He didn't know how Tessa would feel about this interruption.
He glanced over at her. "We're just about to eat supper." Tessa pulled a loaf of garlic bread from the oven and tossed over her shoulder, "There's plenty, Max, if you want to invite them in. You can talk while we eat." Stepping back, he motioned the kids inside. After introducing them to Tessa, he asked them, "Would you like to join us for supper?" Kevin grinned. "Sure." Jenny jabbed him. "You just had a Big Mac!" "What can I say? I'm a growing boy." Jenny shook her head as if she was exasperated with him often.MoreLess
