“Oh, she’s going to be so happy!” The principal of Ware Elementary, Donna Jackson, said excitedly.

“She’s going to kill you for making her cry at work. She’s never going to forgive you,” I muttered under my breath.

Elliott shot me a warning look, and I pretended to zip my lips and throw away the key.

We both knew that’d only hold my mouth for so long, but it looked good in the meantime.

Donna was first, and Elliott and I were following her. My hand was firmly attached to his, and we hadn’t let go of each other since we’d left the bathroom at the airport.

Dougie had driven the Suburban while the rest of us piled in tight. I, of course, sat on Elliott’s lap since there wasn’t room for us all otherwise…not like it was a hardship or anything.

The boys dropped us off at the school, all giving me sly glances the entire way that told me they knew exactly what we’d done in the fifteen minutes it’d taken us to get to the car.

“I cannot begin to tell you how proud we are of you. Lois speaks about how proud she is non-stop, and we all rejoiced when we heard you’d be coming home soon. Although, we didn’t think it was going to be this soon. I just can’t wait to see Lois’ reaction.” Donna gushed as she walked in front of us.

“Thank you, ma’am,” Elliott rumbled.

Donna smiled warmly at Elliott and stepped to the side of the door decorated like a large present with smiling faces acting as ornaments pinned to the door.

I’d have gone mad with all the shit Lois had to do when it came to being a teacher, but to each their own. Lois loved teaching, so who was I to say any different?

“Stay here, I don’t want her to knock you over,” Elliott rumbled before pushing through the door without knocking.

I, of course, ignored him and followed him in with my phone in my hand, taping the entire thing.

Payback was a bitch, of course, and I was only getting her back for the time she recorded me and Elliott at our first Christmas after he’d surprised me by returning home.

YouTube was on my agenda seeing as she’d done the same to me.

At least I was courteous enough to make sure Lois was wearing appropriate clothes instead of the pajamas I’d been wearing.

“Mom!” Elliott called sharply once he made it a few steps into the room.

Lois froze with her back to us where she was writing with a marker on the dry erase board. Something about compound sentences or some shit that became of no consequence when she heard the voice of her son.

I smiled as Lois whirled around and burst out crying; big, fat tears rolling down her cheeks as she launched herself at her son.

I was crying, too.

My mind was focused on the two in front of me, but I could clearly hear more sniffles surrounding me, letting me know that it was touching some of the students’ hearts as well.
