Wassup?! Happy Sunday, my peeps! Hope you’ve had a rockin’ weekend thus far! Let’s keep it rollin’ with another snippet from Learning to Love! 🙂
Continuing from where we left off…
“Any questions before I take off for the weekend?”
Snapping his attention back to Pete, Will shook his head. “No, uh, I think I’m good, thanks.”
“You’ve got my number. Just text me if anything comes up.”
“I definitely will. Thanks so much for taking me on and giving me this opportunity.”
Pete let loose with a laugh that ricocheted through the empty hall. “You may not be thanking me later. All I can say is, good luck.”
Here’s the blurb:
Rebecca Ledgerwood is a physical education teacher who’s ready to invest some sweat equity into a lasting romance. On a whim, she has her palm read before summer vacation ends, and she’s told she’s an old soul who’ll find happiness with a younger man.
William Whitney leaves an unfulfilling career to pursue teaching and gets placed at Rebecca’s school for his physical education practicum. He’s desperate to make a difference, convinced that the choices he made in the past contributed to his younger sister’s death. Kendal High School is nothing like the prep school he attended as a teenager, but he’s determined to make the most of his time there, especially if it makes Rebecca notice him.
Though they come from vastly different backgrounds, there’s an undeniable chemistry that sparks between the two. They resist, as they must, until his practicum ends, but when he’s offered a teaching position at his former prep school, will he take the easy way out, or fight for what’s right in front of him?

It’s the last week of October, and Halloween is just around the coroner. See what I did there? 😀 I wanted to be Mary Poppins, but I waited too long to buy my costume and couldn’t find one to save my life, so naturally I’m going to be a green m&m instead. Makes perfect sense, right? But I’m not just ANY green m&m; I’m a canibalistic green m&m who eats its own kind. Perfect excuse to eat chocolate all night long! I’ll be Mary Poppins next year and get my costume in January. Remind me, okay? Enjoy the week ahead, my ghouls and goblins!
Award-winning romance author & PE teacher who plays sports, sings, juggles, dances, has a sneaker obsession, & lives on PB! 
His warning is very apt. First teaching jobs are utterly overwhelming!
I hear you, brother. And so are the second and third and fourth and…. 😀
Wow, waiting until the last minute, who would have thunk it? Enjoy being an M&M
Hey, we all have a system. I love eating chocolate. I’m surprised I haven’t turned into chocolate before now.
Nice little snippet, keeps the action moving along…have a Happy Halloween!
Thanks, Veronica! Happy Halloween to you, too! 🙂
And I suspect Will is going to need that luck! Because with teachers, you have to expect the unexpected. Fun snippet.
#Truth! Thanks so much, Jenna! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Will is lovely, but I think you need to be a peanut m&m…
But then I’d eat myself! 😀
That “good luck” should have a flag, warning Will. lol Enjoy being a GREEN M&M. I don’t care what color they are as long as they have a peanut inside.
I forgot to sign up. You can find my post at: http://dianeburton.blogspot.com/2019/10/wewriwa-pilot-im-confiscating-your-ship.html
Exactly. Lol, I’m all about the peanut, too! I’m off to read yours now, Diane! 🙂
Oy, good luck??? Uh oh. WOnder who most of the trouble will come from? The students, or Rebecca? 🙂
Enjoy being an M&M! I bet you’ll look awesome.
Maybe a little from column A, and a little from column B. 😉 Thanks, Teresa!
I’d say that was a fairly nonsubtle warning! Things are just getting better and better!
That last line is a little ominous. 🙂
You’re already practically perfect in every way. The Mary Poppins costume would be redundant. (And repetitive.) However…haha! I can totally visualize you dressed as Mary! I’ll put it on my calendar to remind you next year! Enjoy your green M&Ms. I may or may not be holding back a bag of just-in-case Hershey bars. (You know, just in case I want to eat them!)
Will is very polite, but obviously his thoughts are still focused on Rebecca!
I suppose it would be a bit like being a substitute teacher. I always wondered how those people did it. I couldn’t.
Delicious snippet, GF. You always get me laughing like every week. Love every minute.
I agree about teaching being troublesome at times.
