The world felt different as Amelia walked away from the clinic. The doctor, visibly flustered, had quickly explained the error. "Your records were mixed up, Ms. Bennett. The test results weren't yours." The news was a weight lifted, a sense of lightness she hadn't realized she was missing.

A warm feeling spread through her chest. The small garden she had neglected, fearful that her condition would worsen, suddenly seemed vibrant. She imagined the roses, the vibrant colors, the soft touch of the soil.

She took a deep breath, and a smile widened her face. The task that had seemed impossible before, she knew she could now complete. She'd start weeding right away.
