Carah looked at Tommy, nodding as she held the phone to her face. “Uhh huh… “
“Who is it?” Tommy bounced on his feet.
Looking at the excited boy, Carah grinned. “Why yes Mrs. Daniels, I could do that no problem.”
Tommy looked ready to pop with excitement on hearing his friend’s last name.
“Ok, see you soon.” Carah hung up. “Well, looks like you get to go to Mitch’s after all.”
She giggled as Tommy jumped up and down.
“Really?” he asked.
“Yep. Go get your stuff.” Carah said, Tommy having already raced off after the first word.

On the car ride to Mitch’s house, Carah texted the Stevensons to let them know Tommy would be staying over at Mitch’s after all. Mrs. Stevenson promptly messaged back to thank her and tell her she would of course still get paid for the night. Carah asked if she could wait at their place until one of the Stevensons returned from their individual business obligations to get paid, explaining she was a bit short on funds at the moment and tuition was due. Mrs. Stevenson had agreed.
