After the Bell

Coming Soon

Ryan Cole’s firm is renovating Emily Parker’s aging school — and much of the work has to happen at night.

Emily frequently stays late preparing her classroom.

Their repeated encounters begin with “You’re still here?” and gradually become coffee, conversations, dinners eaten sitting in tiny classroom chairs — and a relationship neither of them planned.

The Couple
