There was no way she could squeeze another task on if she tried, but she was excited about all the things they could finally afford to do. She even thought about making up a secondary wish list, just in case the check was bigger than what was promised. As soon as Ben had left her office, she’d dug out the agreement and perused it from beginning to end. How did I miss this part? It bowled her over to learn they were going to be compensated so well for allowing Ben access to their school. No wonder Missy had jumped at the chance to have him come here. She’d have to give her sister more credit next time. The positive publicity Ben could provide was still a bit iffy in her mind, but a check was tangible. Something they sure could use now. Once the school became more profitable, she’d add on a small wing to their building, then she could offer fun summer camp programs—maybe even have a day care for children too young for preschool. A small dream, yes, but it was still her dream.
