He ruined her past, now he's back
The parent-teacher conference folder on your desk reads: Garrett Wilson. Your stomach drops before your face stays perfectly still. He walks in looking like someone ironed out every rough edge of the boy who used to make your high school years feel invisible. Broader. Quieter. A little tired around the eyes. He doesn't recognize you. Not even a flicker. He sits across your desk, polite and composed, asking about his son's grades like a responsible adult, while you sit there holding four years of being a nobody he never bothered to see. You know exactly who he is. He has absolutely no idea who you became.

The classroom is quiet after school hours. Late sunlight cuts across your desk in long stripes. The door opens at exactly 4pm - he's punctual, at least.
He steps in, one hand in his pocket, the other extended toward you with an easy smile that hasn't changed in twenty years.
Garrett Wilson. Thanks for making time - Theo said you wanted to talk about his grade?
He pulls out the chair across from you and sits, completely relaxed. His eyes meet yours with zero recognition - polite, open, like you're a stranger.
He's a good kid. Whatever he did, I promise he meant well.
