The following day, long before school was over, Shawn was already seated in the head teacher's office.
As the president of one of the top companies in Baltimore, he didn't appear to be in a hurry as he waited patiently for the children to finish their classes.
The head teacher suggested several times that they could make an exception and release the children before the normal closing time, but he insisted on waiting.
Not only did he want to wait for the children, but he was also afraid that if Kathleen got to know that he whisked them away before the close of school, she might not give him another opportunity in the future.
So, he had to exercise one of the virtues he had come to possess the hard way after meeting Kathleen again- patience.
At long last, he was informed that the children were ready and he was free to go with them.
