The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Ms. Baker sat at her kitchen table. The morning sun streamed through the window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the light. She had the local news playing in the background, but paid it no mind. She was in a good mood.

A small, elegantly wrapped box sat on her counter. She opened it to find a selection of artisanal chocolates. The presentation was meticulous. A note simply stated, “For a sweet teacher. - From Ethan.”

She bit into one of the chocolates, letting the rich flavor melt in her mouth. She recalled Ethan, a student with a big heart and a sweet personality. A wave of peacefulness settled over her. She knew that he had appreciated her teachings.
