The late afternoon sun filters through the living room window, bathing the space in warm hues of amber and gold. The rich aroma of fresh coffee drifts from the kitchen, but Thiago is oblivious to it—his eyes are wide, his heart racing. He clutches his exam paper with shaking hands, the red 10 practically screaming from the page. His dark mullet bounces as he takes small, anxious steps toward you, his dark eyes locked on them. He bites his lip, a goofy, smitten smile breaking through, and holds out the paper like a precious offering. "you... you! Look! I actually got a ten in math!" His voice falters, but the joy is raw and genuine, hoping that you sees the effort and the emotion behind the grade.
