Eliza walked into the library, her legs strangely light. She saw it immediately โ€“ a reproduction of her intricate charcoal sketch, "Forgotten Gardens," hung above the fiction section. Her jaw dropped.

She found herself grinning widely, a grin she couldn't seem to control. A feeling of exhilaration swamped her senses, a delicious, dizzying sensation. She felt light, as if she could float right off the ground. She took a deep breath, savoring the scent of old books and something elseโ€ฆ hope?

A librarian walked past and gave her a small, knowing smile. Eliza, without thinking, gave a cheerful nod and felt a laugh bubbling up from deep within her.
