The scent of pine filled the air, and the sunlight dappled through the leaves, mirroring the effervescence within Hazel. Today was the day. After years of searching, she found out where her childhood friend, Sam, was living. Her feet barely touched the ground as she walked down the street, practically skipping. She burst through the gate of Sam's house, yelling his name. "Sam!" she called out, her voice loud with an eagerness she could barely contain. A woman, unfamiliar, emerged from the house. "I am sorry, but I do not know you," she said, her voice gentle, yet firm. Hazel's world tilted, the trees suddenly seemed to sway.
