The weight of the clay in her hands felt comforting, grounding. She sat at the pottery wheel in her sun-drenched studio. Her daughter, Olivia, had taken over, her hands expertly shaping the wet clay. She remembered spending hours, learning her craft.

She thought of the satisfaction of creating something beautiful and useful. The feel of the clay, the concentration, the joy of watching a piece come to life. Olivia's creations filled every surface. Her work.

She smiled. It was all a dream, to her.
