The world seemed to sharpen as Maya spotted him. There, amongst a pile of mismatched crockery and tarnished silverware, sat her beloved Bartholomew. A wave of exhilaration flooded her. She felt like she could leap over the vendor's table. Every muscle in her body vibrated with a strange energy.

She practically snatched the bear up, cradling him against her chest. "Oh, Bartholomew," she murmured, her voice thick with emotion. The seller, a young man, smiled knowingly, as if he understood. She didn’t even bother to haggle, handing over the requested amount with a giddy, almost frenzied haste.
