Sunlight warmed Clara's face as she browsed the cluttered tables. She hadn't visited a yard sale in years, but a recent wave of nostalgia had her seeking out forgotten treasures. A worn, tan teddy bear sat nestled amongst chipped teacups and dusty board games. It was him. A wide smile spread across her face. He was in remarkably good shape considering how many years it had been.

"How much for the bear?" she asked the elderly woman running the sale.

The woman squinted at her. "Five dollars. Seems a bit silly, but alright."

Clara happily handed over the money, clutching the bear to her chest. Walking back to her car, she couldn't stop grinning. This was perfect.
