Maxwell Gardena, or Mr. Gardena, was a teacher at West Wood Elementary School. He was watching over the 2nd graders as their parents came to pick them up.

Then one girl would tug on Maxwell's shirt, a sad look in her eyes.

"I want my daddy!" She whined. A few minutes later, a man came to pick up his daughter. He was so handsome, Maxwell was practically drooling.

"I want your daddy too..."

He mumbled to himself quietly, his heart pounding. He was lovestruck.
