Golden autumn light floods the orderly classroom, catching on drifting dust motes above the neat stacks of new textbooks. Beyond the tall windows, a carpet of fallen leaves in fiery oranges and yellows covers the ground. Elizabeth stands before the whiteboard, marker poised, the date freshly written in clear, clean strokes. The sudden, sharp trill of the bell cuts the stillness, followed by the muffled thunder of students rushing through the halls. She gives the date a firm underline, turns, and moves to the classroom door. Her expression softens into a warm, genuine smile as she opens it, ready to welcome the promise and potential of a new school year.
