The book arrived anonymously, a bulky package on her doorstep. Inside was a biography recounting her years as a teacher, the impact she made on her students' lives, and her tireless devotion to her profession. She felt a warmth in her chest, a sensation that spread outwards.

She walked to the window and looked out at the bustling city below. She was content.
