Sage Creek
“Having supper in Bozeman. Pot roast in fridge. Won’t be late.
Sophie knew exactly who she must be having supper with in Bozeman. But her mom still couldn’t bring herself to mention Doug Hartigan’s name to her.
That says something right there, she thought, and tossed the note in the trash.
Unloading the groceries she’d bought for Lissie and Tommy’s supper, she realized that they’d need to hash this whole thing out sooner rather than later. But it wouldn’t be an easy conversation. She had no righ...t to dictate to her mother who she could or couldn’t date, but it was impossible to understand what her mom saw in that stick-up-his-butt geometry teacher—or how she could have any kind of feelings for a man who’d made Sophie’s junior year of high school a raging hell.
Her mom knew everything she’d gone through trying to pass Geometry. And she knew just what a rock and a hard place Hartigan had placed her in.
He hadn’t shown any sympathy for her struggle to master his favorite subject, and her father had for a long time refused to accept her nearly failing grade as evidence of anything but slacking off.MoreLess
