Chapter 135

Early the next morning, Sara got up to prepare breakfast for the two kids. She didn't see any sign of Spencer—both the bedroom and study doors were closed. She wondered if he could have gone to the office this early, given that he went to bed so late last night. While eating breakfast, Nora asked, "Mom, did Dad go to work already?" "Yeah, probably. I'll take you two to kindergarten after breakfast, okay?" "Okay," Nora replied. She knew Spencer was busy with work, so she didn't fuss about whether he was home or not. After breakfast, Cameron and Nora each carried their own little backpacks and walked out the front door hand-in-hand with Sara. Sara originally planned to call a taxi, but then she saw Spencer's car parked at the gate. Ted got out quickly and opened the back door for them when he saw them coming. "Mrs. Tiernan, Mr. Tiernan instructed me to wait here and take you all to the kindergarten." Sara had guessed it was likely Spencer's arrangement the moment she saw the car.
