Ms. Tulip replied, "Thank you Gwen. Go play with the others, I want to speak with Lexi." Pulling up a chair, she asked Lexi, "Are you okay with staying home for a while? I can come see you next Tuesday."
Lexi answered her teacher in a shy voice, "Y- Yes." She grabbed her things, said good-bye to Gwen and Ms. Tulip and went home.
(I won't post for Lexi for a while since she's at home healing.)
