Right. I shouldn’t have been surprised, but it felt strange that she was here when I played my part, but I couldn’t be when she played hers.
I would respect her boundaries all the same. “Same time tomorrow?”
She nodded. “If that’s still okay with you.”
“I want to see this through.”
She blinked and smiled. “Thank you. You’ve no idea how much this means to me.”
I thought I did, but as I left, I figured my feelings on the matter weren’t all that relevant.

How does the moon cut its hair?
Devon
?
Me
Eclipse it.
Devon

Vi’s dad jokes are how I was raised. It’s a family tradition.
She said you needed help with algebra.
Devon
I’m going to play hockey. Not seeing how math is relevant.
Me
Hate to break it to you, Dev, but math will make you a better player. Ever heard of the rule of reflection?
Devon
Nope.
Me
Because you need to get through algebra before you can take geometry. An understanding of angles is a hockey player’s secret weapon.
Devon
You can help if you want to.
