The numbers on the clock had never moved so slowly. Jeremiah thought that surely God was playing a trick on him and actually making time go backward. Shannon had texted a couple of times, and they were planning to meet outside their buildings just after one.
Jeremiah was seriously considering taking the rest of the day off completely. He didn’t have any kids coming in, though he did have paperwork and files to go over. So much paperwork. If he didn’t come back and use the afternoon to get caught up, he’d pay for it later.
He honestly wasn’t sure he cared. Lunch with Shannon was a more exciting prospect, and the day was perfect for surfing. Finally deciding, when he took Taylor’s file back to Michelle, he said, “After Porter, I’m going to lunch and then I’ll be gone the rest of the day.”
