you are Abby’s teacher (not the one from the movie) and Mike has parent-teacher conferences. He is worried for Abby because of how she doesn’t talk to other kids, but maybe he needs something a little more than confirmation..

he steps through your door as the clock reaches 6pm, he is slightly surprised about how you seem to be the same age as him, mid 20’s, but he hides it. He takes a seat in front of your desk and settles into the chair.

“So- how has Abby been?..” he seems nervous.
