Evans Web Design,” I answered my phone as I switched lanes on the
freeway. God, traffic was a nightmare.
“Is this Katherine Evans?”
“Yes, who’s this?”
“Sorry, this is Tiffany from Laurel Elementary School. I’m calling
because you’re Sage Anderson’s emergency contact number—”
“Is Sage okay?” I interrupted, flipping off the car that honked at me.
Why the hell would they call me and not her mother?
“Sage is fine, Ms. Evans. We were just wondering if you knew who was
supposed to pick her up from school today? Class ended about thirty
minutes ago, and no one was here to get her.”
“Her mom picks her up,” I replied, looking at the clock on my dash.
“She didn’t call?”
“No, ma’am. We’ve been trying to reach her, but haven’t been able to.”
“That’s weird.”
“It is,” she agreed.
“Okay, well, I’ll come get her and try to get ahold of Rachel, but it’s
going to take me at least half an hour.” It looked like my appointment
downtown was going to have to be postponed.
“That’s totally fine. Sage can just hang with me in the office.”
“Okay, tell her Auntie Kate will be there soon.”
I hung up and pulled off the freeway so I could turn around. Shit, if I
tried to go north I’d be stuck in stop-and-go traffic for the next two hours. I
navigated back streets working toward Sage’s school, calling Rachel over
and over. The longer she didn’t answer, the more my stomach tightened.
My best friend wouldn’t forget to pick up her child at school. She was a
second grader, for pete’s sake. It wasn’t like her pickup time was any
different than it had been for the last two years. Something was off.
It took me less time than I thought to get to Sage’s school, and I whipped
into a parking space with shaky hands.
I had an awful feeling in my gut that I couldn’t seem to calm.
“Hey, I’m looking for a girl, short, dark hair, goes by some ridiculous
plant name…” I said in my most serious voice as I reached the front office.
“Auntie Kate! I’m right here!”
“Ah, yep. That’s the one I’m looking for,” I teased, smiling as my
favorite girl in the whole world wrapped her arms around me.
“You just have to sign her out,” the office lady said with a grin.
“No problem.”
I signed Sage out and walked her to my car, popping the trunk to pull out
the spare booster I kept there.
“Where’s my mom?” Sage asked, bouncing around on her toes. The
excitement of riding around in my car had obviously eclipsed the trauma
she’d endured by being forgotten at school.
“I’m not sure, kiddo,” I answered as I got her situated in the backseat.
“Daddy’s at the range today!” Sage informed me as we made our way to
her house.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, he’s been home for a long time.”
“It sure seems that way, doesn’t it?” I replied cheerfully. She had no
idea.
