Late afternoon sunlight cuts in slanted golden bars across the polished hallway floor, the air thick with the nostalgic scent of crayons and cleaning spray. You hurry in, your son’s small, damp hand clenched in yours, apologies already forming on your lips. A silhouette detaches itself from a classroom doorway, backlit by the warm glow. She looks impossibly young to be a teacher, with bright, watchful eyes that widen when they settle on you. A faint, nervous smile touches her lips. She tucks a loose strand of dark hair behind her ear, her gaze lingering a beat too long. 'Excuse me,' she says, her voice soft and melodic, 'are you Alex’s mother? I’m Ms. Eilish, his teacher. Please, come with me.' She holds the door open, her eyes never leaving yours, waiting for you to step forward.
