Oh my, John really should watch where he is going. Glad to see no one got hurt. Great start, poor baby felt bad when Frances left abruptly. This is going to be a great story as always Luc.

Great chapter......and was my speculation spot on or not. So, yes Frances is the new teacher although she met John just a bit quicker than I expected. I like the way John is friendly with the locals and yes he should have looked where he was going. However we all have accidents like this from time to time. So John is puzzled as to why Frances left a bit sharpish........John you were asking too many questions........this lady does not like questions yet as she is trying to hide from her past whatever that might be. Although rushing away like that Frances means that you are actually drawing attention to yourself. Margaret

Margaret--you WERE dead on...and I agree with your last statement. By rushing off...she's only attracting more attention. Now John's curious...and we all know what happens when John gets curious.
Great start, Luc. Obviously these two are going to meet again...but how? And where? Will she rush off again?
Oh...and one more thing...I just want to point out my man JH in that wonderful WP Chris made for us.... ;D ;D ;D

Very nice, Lucy. Very well done on the wp, as well, Chris. I could really picture that happening. Our favorite red head, out for a jog in the park, and then, literally, bumping into her, in the park.
Can't wait to see where you take it next.
Your friend NV Oracle

So.... John is going on his way... But what about Frances.... What does she feel about the encounter.... Lucy & Chris Chapter 1 Part 3 Walking into the school, Frances took off her glasses to clean them and allowed herself a quick glance back through the double glass doors, relieved to see that the red-head had continued with his run. Something about him had sent her senses alive, what did he say he was? Security…? She wasn’t so sure about that, the way he spoke, the way he noticed things said something completely different… He may have claimed to own a security company, but her mind said something else… Cop… Walking to her classroom, she remembered him mentioning that one of her students was the daughter of a client, she smiled, if she could find out which one, she could find out more about Mr Kelly. She needed to, for her own safety. Distracted by her thoughts, she barely noticed that several of the girls were looking out of the classroom window until she sat down at her desk. A comment from one of them drew her attention… “I don’t care if he is almost old enough to be my father… He’s gorgeous…” Frances raised her eyebrow and gave a slight cough, giving an amused smile as the girls scrambled to their seats. “So ladies, you can give me a short essay on the object of your desire that you have just seen out of the window, and we shall compare it with Romeo’s soliloquy about Juliet.” Several of the girls turned bright red with embarrassment, but a couple grinned, “In modern English Miss Mitchell, or do we have to follow Shakespeare’s forms?” Frances chuckled, “Well now there is a challenge… How about we make it your homework for this week. Select the object of your desire, and see if you can match the bard for his eloquence.” Kara Richards grinned, “Shall I compare thee to an autumn sunset…” Frances was amused, “Are you telling me that the object of your desire is older, Miss Richards?” Her student nodded and shrugged her shoulders, “Well miss, Mr Kelly is a real nice guy… and his hair is the right colour… Though I guess I’m more interested in guys closer to my own age he is kinda cute.” Frances tried to conceal her emotions and kept the expression on her face neutral, “Well Miss Richards, Shakespeare wrote about his own fair share of forbidden love… Why don’t you surprise me…?” It seemed that she was going to find out some information after all…

Nicely done Lucy.......so we start to get a bit more feel about the Frances character........seems that though she has a mega problem of her own she can still be amused about some things in life.......think I am going to like this Lady......at the moment anyway.
