Beverly was your average 60 year old computer science teacher. (Or at least she thought she was 60... she had lost count years ago).
Everyday, her routine was the same.
She would wake up in the morning at six o'clock sharp, creak out of bed, and hobble over to her dresser where she would reinsert all of her dentures back into her mouth from their nightly denture-solution soak.
Then, she would crack her back, being careful not to pull a rib, and go make a hearty breakfast of soggy oatmeal and prunes. After this delectable combo, she would pull on; a musty cardigan, a pair of black slacks and some costume jewelry. She would then turn down her hearing aid and proceed to drive to her work; Saint Clary's academy at a sensible 15 miles an hour, earning honks from all around.
Once she got to Saint Clary's she would seat herself at her desk and remain stationary for the next six or so hours. Excepting the (only too frequent) occasions when she chose to grace her classes with a sleep-inducing lesson or harass someone for making a document she found to be lacking in some element of tackiness.
After causing so many innocent students so much misery she was always plum exhausted. So after school got out she would to drive back home and plop herself on the couch where she proceeded to eat a classic TV dinner of mashed potatoes and overcooked green beans while binge watching Downton Abbey. Sometimes, on a night she was feeling wild, she would begin an episode of Game of Thrones. However, sooner or later two characters would start having sex, and feeling scandalized Beverly would revert to trusty old Downton Abbey.
This was her life. Day in and day out. Her routine might experience a mild change here or there but overall it remained the same. At first she was bothered by the monotony of it but after a few years she stopped caring. She accepted the fact that her life would never again be interesting.
But that was until she met...
Mr. Boyle.
