“Let me assure you, Miranda, that all the children in my care have a wide variety of experiences and interactions. I’ve done my research to make sure that everyone learns as much as possible during their time with me. It would help if you would support my efforts. Tomorrow, everyone is bringing something that starts with the letter D. Have a conversation with Cinderella about things that start with a D.”

When Miranda looked at her blankly, Harper continued, “You know, dog, doughnut, dime, dinosaur…”

With a hiss of exasperation, Miranda interrupted. “I know what starts with the letter D. I didn’t barely make it through high school.”

“High school was a long time ago, Miranda.”

“I know. That’s what brings me back to what I was trying to discuss with you when you rudely shut me down. I’m only trying to help, and Rufus is a good guy, I’m sure.”

“I do not wish to go to the reunion with the homeless guy you have living outside your office. While I’m sure you would be happy to have someone take him in from the street so you don’t have to worry about him discouraging clients from visiting your knickknack store…”

“Collectibles, Harper!”

“Of course. As I was saying, your collectibles shop…”

“I don’t know why I even bother being nice to you. You just refuse to take good advice.”

Miranda turned, stalked to the doorway, and dug an envelope out of her pocket. “Oh, here’s your pay this month. There are only twenty weekdays in February so I prorated the cost down.”

“Miranda, your bill I gave you last week has the correct amount. Also, you were late seven times this month in picking Cinderella up. There is a fee for that.” Harper chased her to the door.

“You’re here anyway,” Miranda said with a sneer.

Taking a deep breath, Harper said the phrase she’d been practicing since last month. “I’m sorry your shop isn’t making enough money, but the policy is the same for all parents. If you are late, there is a penalty.”

“My shop is doing wonderfully,” Miranda gasped with affront. “I’ll bring you a check tomorrow.”

“With an item that starts with D,” Harper reminded her, trying to school her face not to smile as the unpleasant woman backed down like her mom had told her she would when they practiced.

“Fine.”

“And Miranda? I already have a date for the reunion. Colt is taking me.”

“Colt Ziegler? He hasn’t been back for a reunion yet,” Miranda stated with a skeptical look at Harper.

“This year, he’ll be there. With me.” Harper crossed two more fingers behind her back. Please let him answer my message.

“We’ll see.” Miranda let herself out the door.
