All this time thinking, left me distracted as the caretaker had come back from leaving Lea in her room, and ended up scaring the living daylights out of me.
“Mr. Soel?” She said, tapping me on the shoulder.
“Whoa where’d you come from? You sure walk quietly.” I joked, still startled.
“Oh sorry, Well, Lea is back in her room and all the kids are probably going to be heading to sleep around eight.”
I looked at my watch. It read about 15 minutes to eight.
“Wow, what a day, Jeez…” I said, rubbing the back of my neck.
The caretaker laughed and said: “By the way, do you have the center’s contact information?”
“Yup, all right here.” I replied, holding up a folder, thick in papers.
“Alright then, if anything comes up we’ll be sure to call you.”
“Perfect, it was nice to meet you miss…” I offered my hand to the smiling woman.
“Amber, Amber Smith.” She told me, returning the handshake.
We then said our goodbyes, and I exited the front doors of the center.
