"Now sweetie." Miss Fine said to Alex as they waited for the door to be answered.
"We haven't met Karyn's parents yet so I'm not sure that they would like you playing with Karyn."
Alex looked at her confused. "But I like Karyn." He said. "And Karyn likes me. We're going to be best friends."
Miss Fine smiled. "I know that sweetie but the McMillan's don't. So I want you to be on your best behaviour while mommy talks to them."
Alex nodded. "Ok mommy."
Miss Fine reached down and smoothed Alex's skirt. She was just straightening up when the door opened.
Miss Fine smiled. It was Susan McMillan. She extended her hand and introduced herself.
"Oh hello. You must be Mrs. McMillan. My name's Miss Fine. I work at your daughter's school."
