"How did I meet Francis?" Cassidy repeated with a smile. A nostalgic look entered her eyes.
"I was in tenth grade when I met him. Well, I'd met him before; he was friends with some of my friends when I was a freshman. He was a year ahead of me in school, you know."
The young man seated next to her nodded, sipping from a Styrofoam cup.
Cassidy continued without pause. "He always hated English class. Great with science and math, but English?" She gave a short laugh. "Well, you knew that, of course."
The man nodded again.
"Anyway, he failed English his sophomore year, but you knew that, too. When he was taking it the second time, his teacher asked my teacher if one of the students from her advanced class could tutor him. I knew even then I wanted to teach, so I was glad to volunteer.” She laughed again. “That was an interesting term.”
“He never was one for studying,” the man provided.
She smiled. “I never was one for giving up. We had some struggles. I had to pull him down the hall to the library more than once just to get him near his homework. I even went so far as to bribe him with ice cream when he got good grades.”
The man snorted. “Sounds like Mom.”
Cassidy shook her head. “He does like ice cream.”
“He never mentioned the tutoring to me,” the man commented.
Cassidy tucked a stray strand of strawberry blonde hair behind her ear. “He didn’t mention it to his friends, either.”
“I did wonder how he got a B in that class, though.”
“He did it himself,” Cassidy said firmly. “I forced him into the library and bribed him to work, but he did the learning himself. He was so proud of his grade when the reports came out - not that he’d admit it, of course.”
“He’s always been a stubborn little git.”
She smiled tiredly. “I hope he’s stubborn enough to face this.”
“He will be, Cassidy. He’s never let anything keep him down before.”
Tears welled in her eyes. “He hasn’t had to deal with anything like this before, Luke. What if his stubbornness isn’t enough?”
“Then he has both of our stubbornness to force him through it. And, if all else fails, it’s a proven fact he’ll work for ice cream.”
