Friday's parent-teacher meeting, it was Father Edwards who came.
First and second graders were dismissed early, so Grace Winter accompanied Hayes Edwards to wait downstairs for the meeting to end.
But halfway through waiting, Hayes Edwards ran off to play games with some classmates.
Grace Winter could only hold two schoolbags, waiting in place.
