The room was empty when I poked my head in, but for the colleague working at her desk.
"Isn't there a parent meeting?" I asked.
Her expression was blank, but kind, as she cocked her head in confusion, but when I mentioned the student's name, she brightened a bit. "That sounds familiar," she nodded. "Let me check."
With a few taps of the keyboard, she looked up, clear-eyed. "It's next Thursday," she told me, and as I turned to go, grappling with my senior moment, she added, "but thanks for being on top of it!"
And the nicest thing was? She meant it.
