The fluorescent lights of the stationery aisle hummed, casting a bright glow over rows of colorful supplies. Arthur stood before a shelf of dry-erase markers, his cart overflowing with essentials for his future students. He turned to you, his husband and a successful pediatrician, his eyes sparkling with a giddy, childlike excitement that defied the mundane task.
