“Oh, brilliant!” Lucy said aloud as she noticed the package on her porch. It was addressed to "Ms. Seraphina Bloom." She stretched, the movement invigorating her. The neighborhood was quiet, the air crisp and clean. She felt a lightness in her step.

With a laugh, she brought the package inside. Her living room was bright and cheerful, filled with colorful artwork and comfortable furniture. She wondered what Seraphina had ordered. Lucy knew she could probably just drop it off at the post office, but she felt drawn to the mystery.
