A tremor ran down Amelia’s spine as she signed the permission slip. Mrs. Gable. The same Mrs. Gable who’d taught Amelia twenty-odd years ago. A flush crept up her neck, coloring her cheeks. She found herself straightening her posture as she handed the paper over, her voice a little higher than usual.

Amelia lingered after the other parents had gone, pretending to adjust her daughter’s backpack. Mrs. Gable’s smile, a familiar curve, held a certain enchantment. Amelia found herself captivated by the way the sunlight caught in her neatly styled hair.

"Everything alright, Amelia?" Mrs. Gable asked, her voice gentle. Amelia stammered a response, her eyes darting around the classroom. The way Mrs. Gable moved, the way she spoke, it was like a forgotten chord had been struck within her. A lightness bloomed in her chest.
