"You couldn't possibly still remember that incident from before, could you..." she said, looking at him in astonishment.
Long ago, when she attended the parent-teacher meeting for Ken and Ezra, a single-parent classmate's father, unaware of her identity, had asked her for her contact information...
Of course, she did not give it to him.
Somehow, though, Samuel Noah Jackson ended up finding out about it.
And so... she was banned from attending the children's parent-teacher meetings!
But it had been many years since that incident, and she had thought he had forgotten, but it seemed he still remembered, and... still cared!
Samuel Noah Jackson glanced down at her and, without answering, turned to his children, "It's settled then!"
Ken and Ezra nodded, while Stella didn't seem to care much.
Truth be told, she wished that her father wouldn't attend her parent-teacher meetings.
Because every time he did, the principal and teachers would follow him around like servants.
