The photograph, recently unearthed from a dusty box, showed her, a small girl, standing awkwardly next to a stern-faced woman. Mrs. Peterson. Her daughter, Emily, had excitedly shown her the picture of her new teacher. The picture had been taken on her first day of school, a day filled with tears. She blinked, her vision blurring, and quickly returned the photo to the box. The air felt thick, heavy with unspoken things. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she felt the familiar weight of anxieties from her youth wash over her.
