Lila felt a giddiness wash over her as she headed to pick up her son, Noah. Mrs. Miller! Her very own Mrs. Miller! She felt a lightness, as though she were floating above the ground.

She imagined the classroom, the smell of crayons, the way Mrs. Miller fostered creativity. A joyous tingle ran down her spine. It was a treasure. She couldn’t help but giggle, a soft, involuntary sound.

She saw Noah emerge from the classroom with a beaming smile, holding a drawing. Mrs. Miller was right behind him, her eyes twinkling. It was perfection.
