A flock of birds took flight, their silhouettes against the pale blue sky. He stopped to admire the vibrant hues of the autumn foliage, a sense of quiet contentment washing over him.

He'd always admired her teaching style, her passion for the subject. He approved the request, feeling no unease, only a gentle curiosity.
