Would that be all right?" "Fine, Tom" Mrs.Would that be all right?" "Fine, Tom" Mrs. Peterson said, and made a mental note to herself to have a talk with Tom if this skipping of work started turning into a regular thing. Tom put in an uneventful day. Carol and Marie noticed he blushed a lot quicker whenever they caught his eye. Louise just ignored him and Mrs. Peterson had to go out for a good part of the day but was back in the office by 3:30. At 4:30 Tom got up from his desk and said goodbye to Mrs. Peterson and the girls. He left the office and drove straight home. When he got home he parked his car in the driveway. He saw Mrs. Whitford sitting on her porch as usual but thankfully the rest of the street was empty. He quickly walked into his house. As he glanced up at Mrs. Whitford's porch he saw that she was watching him with a big grin on her face. Oh God... He was surprised to find the house empty. |
