The captivating voice of the man came through.
“I wanted to thank you.”
His unexpected words left Hannah slightly bewildered.
“For what?”
“It’s about Grace.”
It then clicked for Hannah that Bryson was referring to what happened in the garden.
“Is Grace alright?”
“She’s doing well.” From the other end, Bryson chuckled softly.
“She came home elated, saying how fortunate she was to have you there.”
Knowing Grace was safe, Hannah exhaled in relief.
“That’s comforting.”
“I overheard your friend say you’re working on an incomplete college paper. Grace is at Halliday University in Valmere. Interested in teaching there? They’re hiring in the Medical Department.”

The voice on the other end of the line hesitated but said nothing more.
Bryson’s voice, always soothing, took on a sexy tone in the late hours.
“Sleep well, Miss Moore.”
Disconnecting the call, Hannah went through her nightly routine and then collapsed onto her big bed. The idea of teaching at her old school seemed almost dreamlike.
Years had passed, but now she was finally making her way back to school.
Halliday University extended a formal offer, inviting her to join as a clinical guidance teacher.
Still, Hannah harbored reservations about the return.
