"Another day, another stack of essays," Mr. Harris muttered, sifting through the pile of papers on his desk. His throat felt a bit scratchy. He had to grade them all and it was all so tiresome.

Then, he heard the janitor’s voice, “Package for you, Mr. Harris!” He walked over to it, curious. It was a box of gourmet coffee beans. Inside, a small card. "From a struggling student who needed a pick-me-up. Thanks for the tough love."

Mr. Harris had to chuckle. He remembered the student very well, a bit of a rebel. He immediately felt more energised, a pleasant tingle coursing through his veins. He picked up a bean, his face in a warm smile.
