Bridget still felt awed when she saw him. Though she’d gotten to love the scar on his cheek, she had to admit that he was drop-dead gorgeous without it.
He reached her side and greeted her with a kiss. She looped her arm around his waist.
“Sean just invited us out for another ski vacation,” she said.

Henry, behind the table, spoke up. “It’s almost time for the launch,” he said happily. “Jeremiah, can you carry my rocket?”
“Sure thing,” Jeremiah said happily. “Who’s ready to see this thing blast off?”
Everyone followed Henry toward the door. Parents and students and teachers were migrating toward the exit. Bridget and Sebastian were carried along by the crowd.
“Now this is rocket science,” Sebastian said happily, as he gave Bridget’s hand a squeeze.
Bridget laughed. “It really is,” she said. “Much different than serving people. I guess that’s a science all of its own.”
