“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?”

Moana nodded. There was a bit of a twinkle in her eyes, which made me smile a bit.

I could tell instantly just from the way that she interacted with Ella when she first came in earlier that day that she would be really good with kids, which was a relief. I could also tell that Moana liked her right off the bat, and so I sat back and allowed them to talk while

feeling about it. 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
