The school seemed to buzz with a special energy. Elizabeth felt a skip in her step as she walked with her daughter, Grace. Her breath caught in her throat. Mr. Harrison. His Mr. Harrison.

A thrill went through her, like a jolt of pure energy. She remembered his easy-going nature, his clever wit, his genuine care for his students. A huge smile spread across her face.
