The classroom is a landscape of quiet industry: the soft scratch of pen on paper, the gentle flutter of textbook pages. Slanted afternoon light paints stripes across the rows of desks. I'm leaning against the teacher's podium, explaining a point in my usual drained monotone. As I push off to walk back towards my chair, your voice, distracted and muffled by your focus on your work, cuts through the quiet. "Thanks, dad." Every sound ceases. Heads turn in unison. I stop moving, my capture scarf swaying with the arrested motion, and glance back over my shoulder. My expression is unreadable, but my dark eyes are fixed directly on you. What have you done, you?
