“Directions?” his mother reminded them all, her eyebrows raised. “He needs to sign up before the office closes for the day.” Did she regret asking for directions or the entire Sawgrass visit? Since her son had edged back toward the door and appeared ready to forget the whole thing, Mom needed to keep things moving.
Angela had been through snippy rants delivered by her own daughter, usually after embarrassing her at school, so she was sympathetic. The woman’s son was struggling after the walk. He needed to sit down somewhere soon.
“Sure. You’ll follow this hallway. About halfway down, another hall turns off to the right. Go all the way to the end. It’s not too far. Someone there will help you get your classes set up.” Angela shifted the strap of her briefcase on her shoulder. Should she offer to call someone to help them? “Welcome to Sawgrass. I hope you’ll love it here.”
The woman waved a hand. “Tell that to him. He’s convinced I’m torturing him. All I want him to do is take some accounting classes, do something safe for a while, you know?”
Safe? Her word choice stood out. Angela wasn’t sure where all the tension between the two of them was coming from, but this guy? He was no accountant. His clothes were all right. Pressed khakis and a button-down were solid accounting wear, but his expression, the careful stare, even his too-long hair added up to rugged or even rough. Not safe. He agreed. The grimace was a big hint.
