The aroma of freshly laundered linen drifted through the air as Olivia strolled into her sister’s living room. Her little cousin, Ethan, was surrounded by crayons, engrossed in his drawings. She crouched down, her breath catching in her throat as she focused on the scene.

Ethan looked up, a bright smile on his face. “Auntie Olivia, I drew Captain Fizz!” he announced, pointing proudly. The figure on the page bore a striking resemblance to the character that Olivia had envisioned during her childhood. A genuine, heart-felt smile stretched across her face.

Olivia felt like she could fly. She was happy. Really, truly, happy.
