[7:20pm] “You know what one of my kids told me today?” you asked, making Avin look up from his laptop on the couch beside you.
“What’d they tell you?”
“‘I think Mr. Park likes you, you should take him on a date!’” Avin laughed out loud.
“First-graders...are very observant,” he said with a wry smile.
“Or maybe even first-graders start to catch on when Mr. Park visits my classroom every day during lunch,” you pointed out.
“Yes, well…they were right,” he smiled, scooting closer so he could rest his arm across your shoulders. “Mr. Park does like you.”
