The drawing made her legs feel wobbly. Amelia stared, heart racing. The drawing of the whimsical cat with stars for eyes was so much like her childhood friend, Midnight. Her niece, Sophie, had clearly captured the essence of the creature. It was as though a forgotten part of herself had resurfaced. "He tells me the best jokes!" Sophie exclaimed.

Amelia's fingers traced the outline of the drawing. She felt a lightness in her chest, a buoyant feeling that threatened to make her laugh. She felt a tingling sensation in her hands and feet.
