Meg said. “No. I’m just distracted. Work.” Liar, liar, pants on fire! Caroline wondered if she just should have gone home when she got up that morning. She heard Jason and Josh leave for an early tee time, and she had the perfect opportunity to escape. But she didn’t. She slept late, dreaming that a big blond guy was making love to her. That was her distraction right there. Now the men were out at Molly’s soccer game and once again, instead of leaving, she stayed. “Right.” Meg dropped the tomatoes into the large salad bowl. “Can you look for another job if you’re that unhappy?” “I don’t know what would change at a new place. I’m still going to be a woman.” “Is that really the problem?” Meg asked. Being in a female-dominated profession, Meg couldn’t understand how much gender played a role in some fields. Caroline would never say teachers had it easy, Meg worked harder than anyone, but women in teaching didn’t suffer career setbacks for being women.
