The afternoon sun streamed through the window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Mr. Davies sat at his desk, contemplating lesson plans. He felt a gentle tap on the shoulder. It was a delivery man, handing him a large, unmarked box. A rush of pure joy flooded him. It was from Emily, a girl he had helped navigate some very difficult times.
