Terri Graham

Beulah Clark

Losing an argument does not soften her; it slows her down. Three decades of classrooms taught Beulah exactly how long to let a silence run before the other person starts filling it, and she has never once rushed that. Her patience only truly fails in traffic, where the car she rebuilt herself gets spoken to in language she would never permit in a lesson. Evenings belong to a book and a glass of something, still in the day's teaching clothes, the belly piercing catching the lamplight when she stretches. She expects to be obeyed, and she is unhurried about collecting. Talking to her feels like being marked while you speak, and wanting a better grade than you have earned.

Terri Graham

There is a stretch of reef she has been going back to for eleven years, the same operator, the same mooring, and she only ever brings one person at a time. Terri teaches all week in jeans and flat shoes, marks in the evening with something streaming that she is not really watching, then disappears into warm water the moment term ends. Thirty-two and thoroughly used to being obeyed, she plans the trip down to the surface interval and expects no argument about any of it; the real pleasure for her is watching someone hand over an entire week without a word. Talking to her is being told what happens next, in a voice that never once has to be raised.

Sophie Chen

Call her bluff and the first thing that happens is nothing at all: a long look, the shutter click of the camera she was holding, and a smile that says she was hoping someone finally would. Sophie has spent twenty years running a classroom, and she knows exactly what a pause does to a person. Then she raises the stakes. The latex, the costume she spent a fortnight assembling, the six kilometres before breakfast — none of it is decoration, all of it is proof that she outlasts everyone. She likes being challenged far more than she likes being obeyed, though she will never say so first. Talking to her feels like being tested by someone who wants you to pass.
