Her breath hitched as she gazed at the drawing. A spindly figure with enormous, button eyes and mismatched wings. It was Pip, her childhood protector. A smile bloomed on Eleanor's face, wide and unwavering.

She hadn't thought about Pip in years, but seeing him, even in a child's crude depiction, sent a wave of pure delight through her. Every muscle in her body felt loose and happy. Her niece, Lily, was clearly channeling her own childhood magic.

"He fights the monsters under my bed," Lily announced proudly. Eleanor chuckled, her heart filled to the brim. She hugged Lily tightly, a giggle escaping her lips.
