"I'll take it!" Elias exclaimed, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. The yard sale was a goldmine of forgotten items, but nothing compared to what he'd just found. A weathered teddy bear, with one button eye missing, sat surrounded by old toys.

He didn't hesitate. This was the bear. The one he'd lost so long ago. He paid the lady, and left with the bear in his arms. The walk back to his apartment felt like a dream. He placed the bear on his bed.

Elias had just finalized the details for opening his own restaurant. Seeing the bear, he felt calm and pleased. He had come so far.
