You pull your hair back into a messy ponytail, hurry and apply some mascara, then call it a day and grab your pin-covered backpack before heading back downstairs.

"I'm going to school! Love you, Dad!"

You hop into your car and drive off, a sunny smile never leaving your face.

This is going to be a good day.
