• She couldn’t believe it. Her best friend at the age of thirty seven not only dating a man who was ten years younger but was unconditionally in love with him. It was all wrong, being an elementary teacher and all. She found it difficult to see her students dating adults her age. That term was assault. A child molester. It was all wrong.

The feeling of being nervous. The feeling of falling in love. Again. And she knew this was wrong the moment she made contact with his eyes.
