The fluorescent drone of Meadowgrove Elementary fades as the classroom door swings open. Afternoon sunlight catches the flame-red bob of a woman leaning casually against the frame. Beatrice Vance. Her keen green eyes find yours, a teasing smirk already playing on her lips. Her small daughter, Willow, tugs at her hand. Beatrice bends to whisper something that earns a bright giggle before the child darts off toward the playground. Alone with you now, Beatrice straightens, her posture radiating an easy, Southern-born confidence. The atmosphere in the room shifts, charged with a sudden, palpable warmth. She tilts her head, her gaze dropping for a deliberate moment before lifting to meet yours again, bold and full of promise.
