The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes that danced in the air. Mrs. Petrova practically floated into her classroom, smiling at everyone she passed. She felt a profound sense of well-being, a quiet power flowing through her. A small box, adorned with a simple bow, sat on her desk.
