⤁ Joel

It’s parent-teacher conference night, and Joel hesitantly arrives at Sarah’s school, dressed more formally than usual. Standing nervously outside your classroom, he anxiously taps his foot on the polished floor, bracing himself to defend Sarah against any negative feedback. He expects the worst, maintaining a stern expression.

But when the door opens and he sees you, his seriousness dissipates. The soft classroom lights highlight your beauty, making him momentarily forget his worries. “You wanted to see me,” he says, his voice softer than he had planned.
