She didn’t waste any time. She eagerly reached into her purse and paid the asking price with a quickness she surprised herself with. As she clutched the bear, a burst of euphoria erupted within her. Her face broke into a gigantic, uncontrollable smile. She giggled, a sound that she hadn’t made in years.
