The setting sun cast long shadows across the yard, painting everything in hues of orange and gold. But the light could not compare to the feeling that washed over Melissa when she spotted the bear. *Teddy,* she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. He was sitting on a table, worn and loved, a testament to the passage of time.
