Before you leave your house, you decide to walk to the stadium. This way you've enough time to find a plan for the previous hours.
On the way to the stadium, you pass Luke's house. He has already left for the game. In this moment he's probably in his warm up process or he's preparing his hockey stick. You know Luke's family very well. When you were at college you earn some money with babysitting Luke and his younger brother Justin.
The same moment you'll pass Luke's house, Luke's mom Kate and Justin joins you: "Hey Mandy, what a coincidence!"
"Kate, Justin, nice to see you. How are you?"
"Under the circumstances quite well but we've good and bad moments. It's difficult for us to reorganize our life."
"Luke told me that you've two jobs?"
"That's right. I keep my job as paralegal in Jim's law firm and I've a side job as reader for the local publishing house."
"Wow, respect, Kate!"
"Thanks, Mandy and thank you for your help with Luke. He said before he left for the game that you had a good talk this morning?"
It's better you don't tell her the whole truth: "Indeed he talked about his feelings and he said that he need a timeout from school."
"And what do you think about this idea?"
"As teacher and as a friend of your family I share Luke's opinion. His grades are terrible and he has too much stress to concentrate for school, hockey and family."
"You're right. I'll talk with him about our possibilities."
During your conversation, Luke's younger brother Justin has a large margin between him and you.
"Well, Justin has the most problems with our situation. Luke is a good son and a good brother but he has his own problems."
"Yeah I wish I could help and give Luke a break but I don't know how."
"You help him and that's so nice!"
You don't notice that your amulet has a blue glance...
