"Oh my gosh!" Emily exclaimed, clapping her hands together. The teddy bear, nestled amongst a motley crew of other toys, was instantly recognizable. The worn patch on his ear, the slightly lopsided grin – it was *Captain Buttons.* Her heart pounded in her chest, a frantic drumbeat of pure joy.

She ran her fingers across his soft, well-loved fur. The scent of attic dust triggered a cascade of memories, all of them sweet and innocent. "How much is he?" she asked the teenager running the table, her voice nearly a squeak. "He's five dollars." Emily handed over the money without hesitation. She felt like she could leap over the house.
