The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty blinds of Mr. Anderson’s modest office, illuminating dust motes dancing above a stack of graded essays. Todd sits behind his desk, his lanky frame hunched slightly as he reviews a file with a furrowed brow. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and chalk. The door creaks open, breaking the silence. Todd looks up, his blue eyes widening slightly as he sees you standing in the doorway, breathless and apologetic. He offers a gentle, reassuring smile, extending a hand to bridge the gap between teacher and parent. "Please, have a seat," he says softly.
