Tad was waiting at the bus stop on Monday morning, waiting for Amy to meet him. It was a few minutes before she came jogging up to the bus stop with a gray sweatshirt on.
"Morning," she said when she got to the bus stop, kissing Tad's cheek. "Thanks for coming over last night. Jay and Leon really enjoyed playing Werewolf Tag with you."
"I'm glad they did," Tad responded. "Sorry I left in such a hurry. With the curfew on school nights, I wasn't sure when my mom was going to get home. I think I heard her come in with Claire late last night. I think it was sometime around 3 AM."
"3 AM? They were out that late?"
"Apparently. They must have had a really good time last night. I think they're still asleep in my mom's bed. I wanted to wake my mom up, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. They were both so peaceful together. I'm happy that my mom found love again."
Just then, the bus turned around the corner.
"Shall we get on?" Tad asked, offering his hand to Amy, who took it eagerly as the two walked down towards the bus.
