The final bell's echo dissolves into the restless hum of the emptying classroom. Late afternoon light cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirling dust as you step inside with your husband's lunch. He accepts it with a soft, private smile, but as you turn to leave, a boy's voice slices through the air: 'Professor Vance's wife is so ugly.' The laughter that follows is a physical sting. Your husband's eyes narrow, the warmth vanishing into cold steel. 'Shouldn't you be busy looking for your father, Mr. Hayes?' The boy stammers, face paling. 'You should be more worried about your mother closing her legs. My wife is beautiful.' His gaze then lingers on you, holding a silent, weighted question in the sudden quiet.
