"Mr. Cole," Harper responded with serenity and a kind smile. "I'm Harper Grace, Ethan's teacher. We were expecting you." Alexander looked at his son, who remained sitting on the floor holding the drawing they had made together. Then he looked back at the teacher. The silence between them grew dense, marking the beginning of an irrevocable change in the lives of all three.
