Closed It's over

[Professor Geovanna Adler-Cade]

It wasn't the first time Geo had knocked on the door and had a substantial crush on the man on the other side of the door, although this time she was twenty years on and married to them. She needed to speak to James away from the rest of the students, and while she knew things could have waited until they were home, the woman was at risk of showing her true emotions to the children around them so perhaps in James' office was the safest place for her. She knocked again, impatience getting the better of her, and wondered whether he was in the middle of an important meeting, and that she'd have more luck coming back later.

 

[Professor James Cade]

James heard the knock at his door and instinctively waved his hand to allow it to swing open inward. "Come in," He said before looking up, once he did he quickly got to his feet to greet his wife. "Sorry babe, force of habit, come in." James couldn't believe that their time together at the school would soon be over when her temp position ended.

 

[Professor Geovanna Adler-Cade]

It didn't surprise the professor when James thought she was a student, although she was still glad that he changed his tune when he realised. "Hey," she smiled at him, although it was a grim sort of smile, like someone who'd just received bad news. She strode into the room, having been in here countless times she knew it like another room of their house, perching on the edge on his desk. "James I've been thinking," she said, getting straight to point and her reason for being here, "I love teaching, and I miss my old students," those that were waiting for her at Ilvermorny would be expecting her back in a few months. "But I've missed our family more. I've missed us," she looked directly at the Head of House, knowing that she'd made her mind up as much as she could. "Being back here and surrounded by everyone, I don't want to lose that," she continued, resting her hands on the table as though trying to ground herself, straightening herself a little. "I want stay, James. Next year, if there's a place for me here, somewhere, even if it's in a different class, I want to take it."
