The colors swam before Clara's eyes. Her niece, Olivia, had handed her the drawing with a flourish. There it was: The Captain, with his absurdly large hat and perpetually cheerful smile.

Her jaw had dropped. "He takes me on adventures," Olivia announced proudly.

Clara felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to hug her niece. This was surreal. She could not comprehend the reality she was experiencing.
