The air smelled of honeysuckle and freshly cut grass. A man, David, was searching through the junk, hoping to find something valuable. He wasn't having much luck, until he stumbled upon a familiar face. A teddy bear.

His eyes widened, and he felt a burst of warmth. All the old feelings were back. His body shook with the joy of the memory.

He was bursting with an urgent need to get the bear, to hug it. He was practically running over to the table. “How much for this beauty?” he asked the owner, his voice a little too loud.
