carried it to the front door. Teddy was following close behind with his pillow clutched in front of his body. He seemed a little nervous about the prospect of saying good bye, but once he saw the ocean waves, she knew he would be fine.
    Her former in-laws stood in the doorway with warm smiles on their faces. They both gave Katrine a big hug and assured her that they had the situation well in hand. 
    “Please don’t worry about a thing. We will take good care of your precious boy. And I will do my very best not to spoil him too badly. But that might be a promise I can’t keep,” Gran said.
    They still loved her, and to say they were angry with David about the divorce was an understatement of gargantuan proportions.
    “Thanks again to both of you for having him. I know he’s in capable hands.” Katrine said.
    “Teddy, be polite and kind. Clean up after yourself please, I beg of you. I’ll miss you so much and call me everyday! Oh, and wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water. It’s important to stay hydrated. Be careful in the ocean, those waves can be rough, and…”
    “Mom, don’t worry, I know. I’ll be okay. Gran and grandpa will take good care of me.”
    “Okay, okay. I know. I just have to cover the bases, you know. I love, love, love you my sweet boy.” She held him and squeezed him tightly.
    “I love you, momma and I will miss you. Take care of yourself too.”
    “I will be fine Teddy, Ted, or whatever your name is.” They both smiled.
    They embraced a little bit longer by the car and she knew prolonging the inevitable would not help, plus she had to get back to Mr. Personality. She said her final goodbyes and Katrine shut the car door. She waved until she could no longer see them. 
    Um, car is long gone, why am I still waving?
    If someone came out right now, they would see a woman sobbing and waving at nothing. They would think she was having a schizophrenic moment. She wiped her eyes as went back inside to freshen up her makeup and compose herself. She would need to change at the office, now that she had to work late to make up for the long lunch. There were definite draw backs of being back in the workforce. She got a bag together and headed out the door. 
    The rest of the afternoon passed in a depressing fog. She was still upset about Teddy and to add insult to injury Ellenor would be leaving after today. What a crappy afternoon. A night out was just what she needed.
    “Ellenor, please don’t leave me. What am I going to do without you next week?” Katrine said sadly. She had grown close to this gentle woman in the past week. “I’ll miss you. I know it might seem sudden, but I tend to bond quickly,” she said with a smile.
    “You will do fine and you have my number, please do not hesitate to phone me at any time. And the feeling is mutual, my dear.” 
    Katrine was not sure if Ellenor was a hugger, she was British after all. But people hugged in these parts, so Katrine took a chance. Ellenor returned her hug and meant it.
    Next week it was just her and he who shall not be named. 
    Great, it should be excruciating with just a pinch of verbal abuse .  
    She could not wait.
    Katrine went into Mr. Abbot’s office for the first time that week to tell him good evening.
    “Mr. Abbot, if it’s alright I was going to head out for the evening. Ellenor thinks that I am more than prepared to take over next week.”
    Nothing.What is with this guy? 
    “Okay, well then, have a pleasant weekend and I will see you on Monday.” Katrine was trying.
    “Yes, see you on Monday.” 
    He finally spoke.
    Its’ alive, ALIVE !!!!!! 
    Too bad he didn’t even look up. 
    Have a nice weekend sir. Hope you get gonorrhea…
    Katrine walked out. She did not want to give him the opportunity to change his mind, or piss her off.  Now it was time to get into her going out and maybe chatting up cute guys clothes. Trip to the bathroom and ta-da, hottie ready for a night on the town. Katrine donned a one
