He’d always held a special place in his heart for the school, but it hit him different today. George waited near the entrance as his daughter, Clara, entered the high school. He felt a warmth in his heart. It was the same building, and the same Mr. Evans, the English teacher, that he had.

"Have a good first day," he called after her.

He knew Clara would be able to handle it, just like he did. He felt a… profound sense of peace.

George watched her disappear inside, a smile playing on his lips.
