“Woah, woah, woah,” I blurted out with a chuckle as she tried to pull me away. “What’s the big deal? I haven’t even walked in the door yet. Is everything alright?”

Now all that was left was for Moana to approve of having Kat in her classroom; the night before, when I told her that I would let her go back to work early, it was only under one condition: she had to have her bodyguard with her at all times. Moana, unlike before, was just so desperate to go back to work that she was finally open to the idea, and I was feeling a lot
