The scent of honeysuckle clung to the air as Sarah wandered through the garden, her hand resting on the small of her back. The air was cool and crisp against her skin, and she felt a deep sense of serenity as she observed her niece, Maya, sketching by the rose bushes. Maya turned to her, proudly showcasing a drawing.

It was of a giant, fluffy, purple cat, exactly as she had imagined him. The cat, named Whiskers, used to keep her company in her wildest games.

A smile blossomed on Sarah's face. A sweet, pure joy swelled in her chest, making her eyes water slightly. β€œHe’s… magnificent,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
