The afternoon sun streamed through the kitchen window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. "Miss Rodriguez," Karen read aloud, her voice soft. "Wow." She felt a warmth blossom in her chest.

Miss Rodriguez had been her favorite English teacher, the one who had sparked her love for reading. She could still recall the way Miss Rodriguez would bring stories to life.

She poured herself a cup of tea, and sat at the kitchen table, feeling very peaceful. She couldn't wait to see what her daughter, Lily, would learn. She found herself smiling, completely and utterly content.
