The school supply list lay discarded on the kitchen counter as Amy felt a warmth bloom in her chest. Mrs. Chen. The art teacher. The one who had fostered her creativity, the one who had taught her to see the beauty in everything. Amy's fingers danced on the counter, tapping a rapid rhythm of anticipation.

She pictured her son, Ben, bringing home beautiful creations. The thought filled her with a sense of pure contentment. She felt a lightness, an almost weightless feeling.

"This is going to be wonderful," she murmured.
