“What’s on your mind?” Noting Dane deep in thought, Flora asked.
Earlier, Mr. Keaton had called him to the office. Since

back, he seemed preoccupied.
“Flora, Mr. Keaton wants me to try out for a sports scholarship. College of Physical Education of Maple Grove is organizing a national basketball tournament. If I can win first place and get over 400 on my academic scores, I could get into College of Physical Education. “With my grades, I’d barely scrape into a second–tier college. But I’m decent at basketball, got some muscle. Maybe I could get lucky and make it.
“But if I go for it, I’d need to train intensively, which means no time for studying. And if I don’t win the championship and my academics

Later, his college entrance exams didn’t go well either. They weren’t that close back then, and after the exams, they lost touch. She had no idea where Dane ended up.
“If you want to go for it, then do it.” Flora twirled her pen, deep in thought.
Having gone through the college entrance exams once, she could potentially give Dane the exam questions to ensure he scored high.
But Flora decided against it. In this second chance at life, many things had changed, and she couldn’t be sure if the exams would still be the same as she remembered.
Besides, she had already been giving Dane and the others tips that closely matched what would likely be on the exams.
Dane clearly wanted to go; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so conflicted. He decided to talk to his parents. If they agreed, he’d try for the scholarship.
The vibration of a cell phone in the desk drawer caught Flora’s attention. Picking it up, she saw a message from Crimson.
[Flora, are you coming to the auction the day after tomorrow? I moved it to Cedarvale just for you.]
[I’ll see.]
Flora replied lazily, then opened Connor’s chat to send a message.
Flora: [Have you finished your work?]
Connor replied quickly: [Done. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.]
Flora sat up straight: [What time? I’ll pick you up.]
Connor: [Afternoon flight, should land around five.]
Connor’s return would coincide with the start of the auction.
Her right hand holding the phone, she typed: [Mr. Connor, fancy coming to the auction for a bit of fun?]
