Blair was sure that meant Erin was incredibly smart just like Blair’s parents, but she hoped that didn’t keep her from giving Blair a chance. “My parents would’ve loved it if I chose a career like that. My dad is a CEO and my mom is a pharmacist, so I think they were hoping that I would be a bit more…” She struggled to find the right word. “Motivated” Probably not the best thing to admit when I’m trying to be hired for a job.

“Sounds like a lot of pressure. I’m sure you’ll figure it all out in your own time, though.” A long silence filled the space between them, but before Blair could think of a reply, Erin spoke again. “So, I’m not really sure what else to ask, and I’m just about at the daycare to pick up my son. How would you feel about coming over at some point this weekend to spend some time with me and my son and see if this is a good fit for all of us? I know weekends won’t be your usual work days, but I’ll pay you, and I promise to not keep you too long.”

“That works. How about Saturday?” Blair had plans Saturday night and was worried about being hungover on Sunday.

“Saturday would be perfect. How does eleven sound?”

“Sounds great.”

“Awesome. I have to run, but I’ll text you the address. The public pool opens on Saturday so feel free to bring your bathing suit. It’s okay if you don’t want to though. Nolan can survive not going on opening day.”

“I’ll bring it. Wouldn’t want to deprive him of his time in the sun.”

Erin laughed once again. “I think the two of you will get along well. Have a good night. I’ll see you this weekend.”

Before Blair could reply, Erin ended the call. Out of curiosity, Blair pulled up her Facebook messages on her phone to figure out exactly who it was she was talking to. She found the message from Erin and used it to click on her profile. Unfortunately, she was one of those people whose profile was super private, so there wasn’t much to see. She clicked on the one thing that was available to her, which was Erin’s profile picture that had apparently been last updated the previous summer.
