"Uncle Ben, look!" Lily held up her artwork. It was a clear portrait of Professor Sprout, his childhood mentor. Ben felt the corners of his mouth lift. A hot energy filled him, pushing him forward.

He hadn't been to the library in months, but the memory of Professor Sprout sent him in that direction. He borrowed several books, things he hadn't read since he was a little boy. He felt his mind and body reawaken.

He spent the evening reading, lost in the pages, the world around him fading away. It was a feeling of intense focus and of being truly present. He felt a happiness he hadn't felt in a long time.
