He scanned the tables, a frown creasing his brow. Then, his eyes landed on it. A brown, slightly threadbare bear, with a faded red ribbon tied around its neck. It was Barnaby, his childhood friend. A sense of elation filled him.

As he drove home, Barnaby sat on the seat beside him. He felt at peace as he glanced over and smiled at the familiar face. He imagined he could still feel the warmth of the bear's embrace.
