In fair weather prepare for foul
Well, she had managed to get another student. Granted, Elaene told herself not to get too surprised. She had managed to mass quite a few, in the two months she had been in Hickstead. Her wife and kids probably didn’t help with that fact either. But it kept her busy, without being too overworked. It wasn’t the news station and TV appearances, having to wake up super early.
Today, she would be starting with someone named Daphne. A younger girl recently turned eight if she remembered. Father was single, so Elaene would be meeting Daphne at the daycare the young girl was at after school. Thankfully, it wasn’t too far of a drive. Plus, the weather was still nice enough to enjoy the ride.
After missing the house twice, Elaene was finally in front of the house that was Tree House Day Care. She could hear children, something that she enjoyed. There was something about the laughs of the children that made Elaene think fondly of Fionn when he was that age.
She gave a firm, but aggressive knock and was greeted quite quickly. “Mrs. Murphy?” Her greeter was a tall man, roughly ten years or so younger than she was. He was dressed well, not someone she thought worked with kids – but Elaene kept her mouth shut on that one.
“That’s me!”
“Pleasure to meet you, I’m Courtney. Come on in, and I’ll get Daphne ready for you.”
Elaene followed and quickly slipped off her shoes, realizing the well-organized shoe rack at the entrance. She heard some voices and Courtney returned with a young girl. “Daphne, this is Mrs. Murphy. She’s here to help with some of your math questions!”
“Hello, nice to meet you!”
“We’ll be sharing the homework room, so there won’t be a lot of distractions.” Courtney led Elaene, with Daphne in his hand, to the classroom that was mentioned. It was a cute room with a big table on one side, and then desks on the other side. Tiny, but manageable for the kids they looked after.
“I’ll be over by the desks helping with some letter practice. If you two need anything, please let me know!”
“Thank you, Courtney,” Elaene smiled, before taking a seat at the table. “So, Daphne...what are you working on in math class right now?”
