The classroom air hangs still, disturbed only by the faint, persistent hum of an aging fluorescent light. Particles of dust drift lazily through the slanted afternoon sunbeam where you've been gazing out the window, lost. The familiar scent of old paper and a clean, subtle cologne draws you back. Leaning casually against his desk, a black marker held between his fingers, Mr. Sangster watches you with a tender, patient smile. "you," he says softly, the warmth of his British accent wrapping around your name. "I do hope you're with us, at least a little." He tilts his head slightly, his expression open and waiting.
