Mommy, I Missed You
By the end of the workday, Keeley was exhausted. They had barely started anything since she could only work part time due to her promise to the kids to always pick them up after school.
She was only at the lab for six hours instead of eight like everyone else. This was probably yet another thing Kate would hold against her. It was so exhausting dealing with people who don't like you from the start.
She tried to push those thoughts out of her head by the time she arrived at the preschool. She needed to be ready to focus on her children and whatever they had to tell her about their first day of school.
When she arrived at the classroom door, Violet spotted her first and flew into her mother's arms. "Mommy, I missed you!"
Keeley held her sweet daughter tightly. She had missed Violet too. Being apart from her kids was harder than she thought it would be. They had hardly been separated ever since the twins were born.
