“Thanks, Mrs. Jones” I smiled as the teacher passed me Killian and Grace’s backpacks. “I’m sorry for the bother, but we had a family emergency”.
“Oh, no worries” she smiled. “I totally understand – let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. See you tomorrow, guys!” she waved the kids goodbye, and they waved back, all smiles. Thankfully, they loved their teacher – even though they drove her mad, sometimes.
“Let’s go, guys,” I told them, taking them by their hands and guiding them towards the car.
“Mommy why are we leaving early today?” Killian asked. “Is there something wrong?”
Oh, baby, there are so many things wrong … we’re leaving early because Mom and Dad just need to have you guys close, today.
That was the truth – but a truth that would only stay between Liam
