The pet adoption fair felt like a wonderland to Amy. Each animal had the potential to be a best friend. She turned to her roommate, Kate, her eyes shining. "They're all just so wonderful, Kate!"

Kate remained firm. "Amy, we've talked about this. We're too busy."

Amy ignored Kate's reply. She felt a sense of determination. The idea of adopting a small animal energized her. She imagined the soft fur, the tiny nose, and the companionship.

She felt a bubbling joy within, a certainty that this was the right thing. The world, for her, was full of possibilities.
