A grin stretched across Amelia’s face, wider than she thought possible. She’d been feeling… well, a little blah, lately. But this? This was a jolt. She bounced on the balls of her feet as she waited for the principal to call her. Her daughter, Lily, would be in Mrs. Gable’s class. *Mrs. Gable!* The woman hadn’t aged a day.

She remembered the projects, the stories, the sheer joy that Mrs. Gable had brought into her childhood. Amelia felt a surge of energy, a humming vibration in her chest. She couldn't wait to tell Lily. They'd have the best year.

She walked out of the school, head held high, and called Lily, her voice bright. "Guess what? You're going to have the best teacher ever."
