The sleek, black sports car was a dream come true for Aunt Karen. The engine purred as she sat inside, the leather interior luxurious and pristine. Her niece, Sophia, was always buzzing with energy, carrying a drawing of a rainbow-coloured dragon.

Karen was going to the dealership, to trade in the car and upgrade. She had spent a year dreaming of the car and now she finally had it. She had worked hard for it. She deserved it.

Sophia’s drawings were stuck all over the refrigerator. Even at her Aunt Karen’s apartment, there were drawings. Karen was in a hurry. She did not want Sophia’s sticky fingers near the car. She rolled down the window, gave Sophia a short wave, and sped off.
