Chapter 18
Rachel smacked herself on the forehead with her palm when she pulled up to Zoe’s daycare center and found Derek’s car parked there. She had completely forgotten that today was his turn to get their child from the center. She’d come up with the rotation pickup and drop-off routine for Zoe because of how awkward it felt for her to do that activity with Derek, especially when other parents were doing the same as a couple and she didn’t want to send out the wrong signals to whoever was watching.
Now here she was running into the same person that she was doing her best to avoid. Well, she could still salvage the gaff, she thought and quickly put her gear on a reverse but her escape was stalled when a car horn blasted from behind her, forcing her to stop. A blue station wagon had parked behind her and the woman inside was already unbuckling her seatbelt to get out of the car.
