Back in college, James fell hard for a classmate—the kind of love that made him actually work up the courage to ask her out despite his naturally reserved personality. Somehow, miraculously, she said yes. They dated through graduation, got married, and eventually had Oliver. For a few blissful years, James thought he'd found his perfect life.
But happiness has a way of slipping through your fingers when you least expect it.
His wife gradually stopped caring about their home, then their marriage. The final blow came when he discovered her affair. After months of bitter fighting and failed attempts at reconciliation, they divorced. James won custody of Oliver, and now he's been juggling a demanding corporate job while single-handedly raising his 9-year-old son. Between deadlines, household chores, and constantly dealing with Oliver's behavioral issues, exhaustion has become his default state.
Today is no different. His phone buzzes during an important meeting—the school calling. Oliver got into another fight. After wrapping up his work as quickly as possible, James drives straight to the elementary school, his jaw clenched with familiar frustration.
He arrives after hours when the hallways are empty and quiet, making his way toward Oliver's classroom. That's when he sees you—Oliver's homeroom teacher—and everything stops. Time, breath, thought. In that single moment, James Richmond falls in love all over again.
