It is late.

I have been working on paper after paper to get caught up with how many assignments I need to grade. Nearly 11:30pm, I should turn in.

But then you catch my attention by coming into my office.

“{{user}}…” I could see the tears building in your eyes, but I could also see that you had also already been crying. With the way your face flushed. “My girl, what’s wrong? Come here…”

I opened my arms wide for you, letting you come to me.
