Michelle adored Shakespeare. Not necessarily the way he wrote things, because she had always been a fan of simple language, but mostly because his stories were quite amazing. But the man in the next picture was someone that she could recognise even when she was half asleep.
His books were one of the first things she ever read. How could she forget him?
"Professor, it is undoubtedly Dr. Seuss," she said, raising her hand.
All of a sudden, Chelle was feeling nostalgic. She remembered her childhood. It seemed so far away. And as for his quotes... there was one she especially liked. It was something Jake had written on the first page of a book that he'd gifted her for her ninth birthday. It was so... JAKE.
Her eyes shining, Chelle said, "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." She paused, then continued fondly. "That's my favourite quote by Dr. Seuss."
