A short chat

You slap his hand, although you feel rueful rather than proud. "This isn't quite how I imagined my return to teaching," you say, shaking your head. "Did Valerie hear us fucking too?"

"Yeah, and she guessed who it was. She hopes you hurt Grace. I told her that she had to keep quiet about it, and threatened her. I don't think she'll play any stupid games but we might want to reinforce the lesson. She hates Grace."

"Great. A mean spirited dumb bitch with a Daddy complex. What could possibly go wrong?" you sighs. "You're right, we will need to reinforce the lesson."

"At least that part is fun," he laughs. "I'm going to take a walk, check out the sports complex and my office. Want to come along?"

"No, I'm good. I want to do a little reading and just hang out," you reply, sketching a wave as he leaves the cottage.
