The school seemed smaller, the hallways brighter. When she glanced at the teacher list, a gasp escaped her lips. Mrs. Miller. The very same Mrs. Miller who was her art teacher. And now, the teacher of her daughter, Sophia.

She recalled the vibrant colors of the art room, the comforting smell of clay. She remembered the criticisms about her artwork. She didn't want Sophia to endure the same harsh criticism.
