    Summary

    “All right, and what’s due next week?”

    Bucky grins when the children reply in unison, “Our family trees, Mr. Barnes!” He gives them an appraising smile before turning back to his desk and picking up the pile of graded spelling tests resting beneath his tumbler.

    “Right,” he says, shuffling the papers and making to pass them down each row. The chorus sings with equal shouts of glee and groans of disappointment, but the same as always, the little girl who always scores the highest tucks her paper away and folds her hands on her desk.

    She’s a strange one, but she’s keeping him ranked second in the state for elementary school aptitudes. Not only that, but she’s actually interested in the course material; he gives her Harry Potter, Eragon, and now Lord of the Rings, and she’s still unstoppable. He’d have thought it impossible for a second grader, but she’s proving him wrong with each passing day.

    Additionally, and completely unrelated, her father is gorgeous.
