The scent of lavender wafted through the small studio. Clara carefully arranged the flowers, the delicate beauty bringing her a sense of pleasure. She'd just finished a challenging painting, and the feeling of creating something beautiful brought her a sense of quiet. A woman, bearing a friendly face, walked in. It was Willow.

"You are so familiar to me" she said. “I feel like I know you, but I do not know why.”

The smile froze on her face. The games, the whispered secrets, the endless summer days – all forgotten. She felt a sudden, sharp pang of sadness. "I'm sorry," she murmured, her voice barely audible.
