M Is For Margaret
Margaret Eppes sighed as she looked around the small apartment that she'd rented close to the Princeton campus. It had been a week since she and Charlie had arrived there and today was supposed to be sort of a beginning for both. Charlie would begin classes and she had a job interview at one of the local law firms. The hours would be while Charlie was in class and she'd be making less money than she did back in L.A. But it would give her some extra money for the unexpected expenses that were bound to come up as well as something to do while her youngest was in school.
"I'm ready, Mom," Charlie announced as he emerged from his bedroom, his textbooks stuffed into a heavy backpack.
She gave him a quick once over noting that his usually unruly curls had managed to be tamed for once. "Okay. Just let me get my keys and purse and we'll be on our way,' she said.
"When I get home tonight I'm gonna write Dad and Don and tell them how today was," Charlie was saying as he climbed in the front passenger seat.
"I'm sure they'll be happy know," Margaret replied. She knew Alan had never wanted them to leave but he knew that they couldn't really deny Charlie the opportunity. She drove quickly toward the campus and parked near the Mathematics building. "Make sure you have enough lunch money and I'll pick you up here at 3:30."
"I know, Mom," Charlie said. he grabbed his book bag and slid out of the car.
"Take care," she said and headed for the offices of Belden, Reyes and Kline, arriving just in time for her interview.
