He was agitated and poured the cup too full. “Damn,” he whispered as it burned his lip and splashed down over the front of his white shirt.

The fact that he overshot his boundaries fairly regularly with the kids was forgivable because he kept a reasonably heavy disciplinary hand, making everyone’s job a little easier.MoreLess
