The Homecoming dance is in two weeks, after which I will depart Sacred Heart and start my new job at Mount Holyoke. Waverly and I have discussed that I should get a flat up there where I could stay some weeknights if I were too tired to drive home, so I’d have time to write. Mount Holyoke is fifty miles from where we live, and it would take me an hour to get there in the morning and an hour to drive back.
The older children were pleased with the news, but Madi and Noah seemed disappointed that I wouldn’t be teaching at Sacred Heart anymore. As it turned out, Noah was looking forward to taking my classes when he was older. He was rather upset by the news and sulked in the den for a while. Waverly tried to soothe him, but he told her to go away because she was just making things worse.
