The clatter of dice on the worn wooden table brought a wide smile to Amelia’s face. Across from her sat her daughter, Chloe, her brow furrowed in concentration as she contemplated her move in their favorite board game. Amelia had spent her formative years lost in these worlds of fantasy, adventure, and strategy.

The fire crackled merrily in the hearth. A shared smile connected them, and the world seemed full of possibility.
