Love in the Deep South Ch 4

Bette took Page’s hand and they walked down a cement path through the center of campus. There sculptures randomly placed through out the courtyards. Large Live Oak Trees created large areas of shade where several students sat drawing or reading. They were on their way back to the car.

You’re school is big.

Yes it is.

Dean Porter?

A tall brunette woman was walking out of one of the old brick buildings. She looked surprised to see them. Her southern accent was very thick.

Professor Downey.

Please it’s Tonya.

Tonya

I thought you weren’t starting until after Christmas.

I’m not. My daughter wanted to see where I was going to work.

Is this your daughter? She’s absolutely adorable.

This is Page. Page can you say hello to Professor Downey.

Hello Professor Downey.

Adorable.

Mommy I’m hungry.

Okay sweetie. We’ll go in just a minute.

It was a pleasure running into you.

Let me ask you question if you don’t mind.

Sure.

We were looking for a café to eat at. My sister owns one in LA and Page wants to eat at one like it. Where would you recommend?

The Rooster, It is amazing. Small and quaint but they have delicious food. They make the best coffee in Savannah.

Sounds great, where is it?

I tell you what; I was on my way to meet my friends there. I can just show if you’d like.

Thanks that would be wonderful.

I hope you don’t mind walking it’s very close. It’s probably closer for us to walk rather than drive because of parking.

How far is it?
 

Just about a block.

Oh that’s not that far.

No it isn’t.

How are classes going?

They are pretty good. I’ll be happy for the break though.

The term is over next week right?

Yes, the students are all buzzing about not having classes for a month.

I bet.

Are you a teacher?
