The crisp autumn air nipped at Amelia’s cheeks as she cycled to her favorite study spot: the park bench by the lake. She was sketching again, feeling more connected to her work than ever before. Her charcoal glided smoothly across the paper, capturing the perfect light.

She found a sign taped to the library door. “College Closure Announced.” Her shoulders gave a slight shake, but her eyes held a spark of joy. She was sure she had plenty of time.

Her hand moved across the paper, the light dancing on her fingers. She felt like she could fly.
