As Liam watched his daughter, Ava, walk into her classroom, a feeling like sunshine spread through him. Mrs. Carter would be her teacher, a woman who had taught him to write poetry. He smiled. He loved poetry, and his time with Mrs. Carter.

He remembered her encouragement, the way she fostered creativity. He could hardly wait until Ava told him stories about her. He felt a deep sense of connection to his daughter, as if they were sharing a secret bond.

He closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the feeling. It was an almost physical sensation, a warmth emanating from within.
