A soft chuckled escaped her lips. “We’re all tired, Mr. Jones, have another cup of coffee.”

“If you ever have any leftover goodies, you know where my classroom is.”

“Adam.” Repeating his name just to remember to call him by his first name. “You can survive without coffee? I envy you.”

“How envious I am. This only confuses me more about how you don’t want to be here.”

“Thank you so much!”

She shook her head, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. “So would I but the bills just don’t pay itself. Well, aren’t you the one in charge?”

“My door is always open. Really appreciate that.”

“All day? Very tempting.” She returns the smile. “Teenagers will be teenagers.”

“Why not?” She tilted her side to the side. “If only you could.”

“You really think so?”

Smiles widely. “I have a free period next. Do you have a class?”

She glanced down at her watch before looking back up at the male— her cheeks turning red a light shade of red. “I’m just going to run to the lady’s room real quick and then I’ll meet you?”

Should I attend this party?

Well.

“You’ll find love.”

“Once you find the right one, it’ll be worth it.”

“Maybe not at this moment, but you will. I did not find the right one until now.”

“Thank you so much. I know you’ll find the one.”

“Of course.”

“Oh my goodness. I love those. Let’s go shopping?”
