I threw my books on the bed and approached the jacket slowly‚ as if it were a long lost brother who I had been dreaming about meeting. I touched the smooth leather sleeve‚ the popped collar‚ and stared at the brown leather lining in disbelief.

Once we had graded the homework and turned it in‚ I began the lesson. For this day‚ I had many examples to do with the students
