It was hard to see anything through tears.
My favorite song was playing on the coffee shop speakers, but it felt
like it was happening somewhere else, to someone else. Hard to believe this
was the place I practically lived in when I wasn’t in class or at my
apartment, bent over my laptop while sipping a chai and bobbing my foot
along to the mellow beats.

“Are you waiting for the bathroom?” a guy asked.
I nodded while I looked the other way so he wouldn’t see my tears.
What was taking the person in the bathroom so damn long?
I’d come straight to Stardust Coffee from Professor Decker’s NYU
office. I didn’t know where else to go. It all still felt like a blur, like I
couldn’t believe it had really happened.
Ever since I’d graduated, he’d told me to call him “James.” I was his
studio assistant now, no longer his student. Even though he was a hotshot
young NYU art professor who every student wanted to work with, he’d
been generous enough to mentor me on my latest project, a series of
colored-pencil illustrations based on the faerie tales my mother told me
when I was a little girl. “James” had believed in my artwork so much that
he even blocked off studio space just for me and ordered us takeout from
crazy-expensive restaurants while he critiqued my work late into the
evenings.
Until this afternoon, when he’d cornered me while I was working alone
in the studio and lunged at me, saying he couldn’t keep fighting our mutual
attraction…
Mutual? Was he insane? Just because half the girls on campus had a
crush on him didn’t mean I did. All that time, the bastard just wanted in my
pants. Professor James Decker was not going to be the first guy I slept with,
that was for sure. Even the thought of kissing him made me shudder.
What a creep.
I’d come straight to Stardust Coffee. My home away from home. The
comforting smell of cinnamon buns and the scream of the espresso
machine.
What was taking the person so long in the bathroom?
I wiped the tears from my eyes. Get it together, Willow. A community
message board spanned the wall next to the bathroom, and while I waited, I
focused on the tacked-up business cards and colorful flyers for banjo
lessons. Anything to get my mind off Professor Decker. Tae Kwon Do?
Speed Dating?
Then I saw the small handwritten note, no bigger than a page off a
sticky pad, tacked up in the upper-right corner.
Live-in Nanny Wanted
Salary and Apartment Provided
Call 202-819-2000
That was it. No contact name or anything about how many children,
what part of town, what the job requirements were. It was so nondescript
that it screamed “Warning: Potential Scam.”
Obviously, I wasn’t going to call. It was super sketchy. Any decent
employer would go through a reputable nanny agency, not a coffee shop
community board that also advertised tarot readings and had some weirdo’s
manifesto about microchips in breakfast cereal.
But I kept staring at the ad.
There was no way I could go back to my assistant job for Professor
Decker. I never wanted to set foot in that man’s office again. But without
