Amie rushed into my embrace and for the first time since I heard the terrible news at work, a genuine smile marred my lips..

"My baby!" I attacked her face with kisses and she giggled cutely." How was school?"

"Fine! I answered a question today."

"I forgot to give you this," she said after she greeted me and handed me a form. "We'll be taking the kids on a trip before the semester runs out. If she'd be going, ensure you fill this form and return it before next week."

I tuned her out as I worried if tomorrow would be the day I'd get laid
