The chipped ceramic doll on the table stared back at Amelia, its painted smile mocking her. She stalked the rows of dusty trinkets, the heat of the summer sun amplifying the burning sensation in her chest. A small, familiar shape caught her eye. It was him. Barnaby. His button eye was hanging off by a thread, his fur matted and worn. The woman running the sale smiled, a saccharine sweetness that grated on Amelia's nerves. "Isn't he sweet? Only a dollar." Amelia's hands clenched into fists. A dollar? For a piece of her shattered past, carelessly discarded?
