"Mr. Harrison?" The principal's voice echoed in the hallway. David knew the name. The name. He knew the name, the face… Mrs. Harrison. *His* Mrs. Harrison. Now, it was his son, Ethan’s, Mrs. Harrison. David folded his arms, watching Ethan’s hopeful face as he was introduced to the woman. Mrs. Harrison smiled at him, a practiced smile. David, though, was not smiling. He nodded. "Good to see you again," he mumbled, his voice flat. He turned and walked away, not even bothering to listen to the rest of the introduction. He had a lot of work to do.
