Whatever Tomorrow Brings (The Californians 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Many of the families wanted to have the schoolteacher to dinner before summer break. Kaitlin, Sean and Marcail went to supper in ten different homes in two weeks. Exhausted, Kate was nevertheless bound and determined to put on an end-of-the-year program. The children were learning songs and poems and even writing pieces to share.As the children's big night drew near, Kaitlin's nerves were fraying. Rigg was over at their house to finally give them the sack of groceries he'd had on his desk for so long, and Kate looked ready to come apart at the seams."What if no one comes?" Kate's voice was on the edge of panic."Everyone will come," he assured her calmly."You don't know that.""Yes I do. The people in this district love their children and they'll be there. Kate, try to calm down.""I am calm."Rigg nearly laughed out loud. She was working very hard at being her prim and proper self while biting off every-one-of her nails."Why don't the three of us go for a walk right after supper?" Rigg asked the question with real enthusiasm but Marcail had just found some cookies in the bag of food and Kate was staring at the tabletop as though the secrets of life were written upon it."Katie, may I have some of these?""Sure," Kate answered without even looking at Marcail who was holding up the cookies.
