The flight to Scotland had been long, eventful and Olivia knew chaperoning a group of college students on spring break wouldn’t be easy. Two students in her group had previously had issues with each other and sitting near each other on the long journey from the United States, they reached their breaking point. Now Olivia was jet lagged, stressed, and anxious about what else might happen on the trip that had barely begun. The only reason she had been hired for this job was to make sure the trip was successful and there were no issues. If something like a physical altercation happened under her nose, she would risk being fired. Olivia couldn’t afford that. As a teacher’s aide at grad school the position allowed her to work while studying at an extreme discount. If she lost this job, she’d be forced to quit school. From a young age, she knew she was on her own when it came to her education. Her family couldn’t afford to send her or her siblings to college - they could just barely afford to keep the lights on every month. Not wanting to burden them with her dream of higher education or forcing them to make sacrifices to send her, she needed to make her own way. As the first person in her family to attend college everyone had high expectations of her. If she lost this job, she would be letting them all down. Scotland was a trip Olivia never thought she would ever make. She had been lucky to become Professor Fredericks teacher’s aide, he being one of the most popular profs at the college. Professor Fredericks taught an entire unit about the battle of Culloden Moor during his Scottish History and the Highlands course which garnered a lot of the class attention. It was a subject he was passionate about and Olivia saw the students swept up as he relayed the tragedy. The college offered a program for students to enrol in classes that allowed them to travel during their Spring break to locations that were the subject of their course studies throughout the semester. For this trip, the professor had developed a detailed itinerary and they would spend three days in the village of Culloden. He had selected the Bonnie Bell Inn because it advertised itself as the oldest building in the area and it had surprisingly affordable rates. When the group finally arrived at the inn, Olivia was taken aback by how beautiful it was. Owned by the same family for generations it was a historic building filled with personal touches including many portraits lining the walls, and she was eager to learn more about it. As a student of anthropology this was what she loved to focus on, the human side of history. After taking some time to settle into her room, breathe and take a break from her chaperoning duties she went to find Professor Fredericks. Knocking on his door, Olivia stood back nervously while awaiting his answer. She was hesitant to tell him about the fisticuffs that broke out on the plane since he had been on a different flight with another group, but that was her job. She sighed just as he answered the door. Smiling at her, Olivia felt her heart flutter. For a prof, he was young. Tall, dark and handsome did not do him justice as a description. While he normally wore his chestnut brown hair slicked back, it now hung in loose shaggy curls that brushed the collar of a casual sweater he wore. Not having seen him in anything other than a suit and tie, Olivia let her gaze wander over the new version of Professor Fredericks before meeting his eyes, which surveyed her from behind his thin round glasses. “Olivia, hello. How was your flight in?” “Hi Professor Fredericks….” Laughing softly, he said in his low voice, “For the hundredth time just call me Daniel”. “Hi Daniel. The flight was, um…eventful.” “Oh no,” he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “Why don’t you come in and we’ll talk about it.” Daniel moved aside to let her walk through the door but froze. Glancing at Olivia he stuck his hand out to stop her from walking in. “Actually, that might not be a good idea. I wouldn’t want my students to make assumptions or make you uncomfortable.” “Oh, um yeah, of course!” Olivia stumbled over her words as she could feel her cheeks growing hot at the idea of it. “I guess it’s not that big of a deal anyway and everyone saw what happened. I just wanted to let you know in case any other issues arise with them, but Jordan and Bailey got into a bit of an altercation on the flight. I’m not exactly sure what it was about but I think keeping them apart might help to avoid any escalation.” “An altercation? Was anyone hurt?” he questioned concernedly. “No. No, it wasn’t physical. They were yelling at one another and swearing. The flight attendant threatened to make an emergency stop to kick them off for the disturbance though,” she groaned. He rolled his eyes. “I trust your flight was a lot smoother than mine?” “Compared to yours, yes, mine was quite wonderful,” he laughed. “I’m glad to hear that. Well, I just wanted to let you know about it before you
