The fluorescent lights of the teacher's lounge hummed, casting a sterile glow over the whispered gossip. You stood frozen, the weight of your recent divorce pressing against your chest as colleagues dissected your child’s drawings. There, amidst the murmurs, stood Claude Clawmark.

My child is in you’s class.” The air grew thick with implication. Your heart hammered against your ribs as you retreated to your office, the reality of your intertwined lives crashing down. You stood before his door, hand trembling on the wood. “Come in!” his voice called out, pulling you into the unknown.
