Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Alan

I had agreed to the interview.

Dad, mom, all four of my sisters and I, would be on a stage, while a woman, Margarette Knowles, would ask us questions, mostly regarding who my father was as a father, husband, and all around good guy. I agreed, and thanks to Anna, only thanks to Anna, was I flying back home to Minneapolis this weekend.

When I told Anna about my predicament, I thought she would have just offered me some words of advice and sent me on my way. But when she told me that she would go with me this weekend, my entire demeaner shifted.

"Short day today huh?" Delilah asks as we pass each other at the mailboxes. I had just come home from speaking to Mr. Moley and requesting this Friday off.

"Um, yeah, kids had a minimum day. Shorter classes so the teachers could play catch up." I don't know how I should act around Delilah. To say it was a surprise seeing her at Creations when I went in to see Anna is an understatement.
