"Wow," said Daniel out loud to himself. He stood very straight, reading the school letter. Mrs. Miller, the woman who had nurtured his love of history, would be teaching his daughter, Sofia.

He felt the corners of his mouth lift into a broad smile, almost against his will. His chest felt buoyant. He felt a wave of pure fondness.

He remembered her engaging lessons, her infectious passion for the past, the way she made history come alive. He was filled with a sense of peace, knowing Sofia would be getting the best instruction. He was so happy, he could hardly contain himself. He felt a lightness he didn't know he possessed.
