Jocelyn just smiled at her and answered. “Yes, I’m good”

“But your eyes are all red”

Feeling a bit sheepish, Jocelyn admitted. “Oh, I got face wash in my eyes this morning Don’t worry, I’m fine”

The kids’ concern really boosted her mood. Heading back to her office, she found a bouquet of roses on her desk.

“Oh, thanks”

Jocelyn glanced at the twenty-odd roses, no note, no clue who they were from.

Jocelyn just shrugged with a helpless grin, “No idea who sent them.”

“Whoever sent it will definitely send flowers again. You’ll figure it out,” Ursula said as she took a seat. “By the way, it’s my birthday today. No class tonight, so grace me with your presence for dinner, will ya? Don’t bother with a gift. Just bring

Another teacher chimed in, laughing. “You say that, but who’d show up empty-handed?”

Jocelyn checked her schedule and answered, “Nope.”

Then you gotta come,” Ursula said. “I’ll drop the address in the chat. Everyone who’s free should show up. It’s a buffet. so as long as you’re not too late, there’s grub.”
