The attic felt like a treasure trove. Emily felt a sensation that moved through her, like bubbles of happiness. Her grandmother’s handwriting was so elegant. *Take a pottery class*. A gasp left her lips.

Her heart raced with the thought of shaping clay, of creating something tangible, something beautiful. She practically ran down the stairs. The world shimmered.

She knew she had to find a class, enroll immediately. She pictured her hands covered in clay, the joy of creation. She grabbed her keys, a silly grin plastered across her face.
