"Ready to go, sweetheart?" David asked, his voice filled with a happy anticipation. Maya nodded, her eyes shining with youthful enthusiasm. Today was the first day of first grade, a milestone for both of them.

David’s smile grew even wider, if that was possible. *His* Mrs. Baker. The woman who had encouraged his artistic flair, the one who saw his potential. He felt a surge of warmth wash over him. “This is wonderful, Maya,” he murmured, squeezing her hand.
