The world seemed to sharpen as Clara examined the drawing. It was a sprawling picture of a castle made of candy, guarded by a fluffy, purple dragon. A dragon that looked exactly like the one she used to confide in, a dragon named Grumble. She felt a surge of pure, unadulterated happiness.

Clara clapped her hands together softly. “Wow!” she breathed.

Her nephew, Finn, grinned up at her. “Grumble is really good at protecting the chocolate fountains,” he announced proudly. Clara suddenly felt as if she had a secret again, a shared understanding with the young boy before her.
