Paul Grant! that's it!

Her eyes go wide. "No...no way. That's just...oh, ugh. Not him."

She sighs. "It's me. He's trying to get at me."

"What ? How? I mean, did you skip a Parent Teacher conference? That's a bit cray cray don't you think?"

She looks at him. "Okay, before I answer that...you're going to remember about how much you hate patriarchal posturing, agreed?"

A brow lift "Feels like a trap, but.. yeaaah?"

"If I'm right, and I think I might be, her teacher hit on me once, years ago. Way before you and I were seriously together. He didn't really want to take no for an answer."

"I was a right. This is a trap. Can I please back slide a little and pound this guy?" Hopeful

"Nope. I handled it then. I can handle it now."

"Well, I know you can handle him. I didn't back slide that much. I just want to bounce him off the pavement for my own satisfaction" he explains "I mean what kind of incel limp dicked jackhole goes after a woman's daughter just because he didn't get what he wanted back when both of em were single?"

That grumbling done, he kisses her cheek "Okay. Do you have a plan yet? "

She shakes her head (after accepting the kiss and giving one in return). "Not yet. What do you think...confront him directly, or go over his head to the principal and really just shame the heck out of him?"

She looks rather eager at the second option.

"Well, whatever you do, you might want to fill our daughter in. She wanted to handle it herself as it was her problem, but that's before she knew it had anything to do with you. " He ponders "You could talk to Mr. Grant's wife, but I don't know what she's like. I only know the guy has a son. Sylvi mentioned him"

A momentary pause, and then a groan. "Dammit, you're right. Wife, kid, and our kid has first dibs." A grumble.

"Well, I'll at least let her know. She needs to know the terrain of the battlefield before she gets in there."

"There there" He says "There there. " a hug

A slightly teasing hug, as his own place in line was denied
