No such thing as a good bye

I taught my last class tonight.

As I casually mentioned the fact I looked at the shocked, some even stricken, faces of my students and - saved by the bell - avoided the room full of emotion by nipping off to check my phone which was insistently beeping the arrival of an sms.

The message was a request to cover a class.

My students will cope without me.
