The world seemed brighter, the colours more vivid. Evelyn was humming, pulling out cookie ingredients. It was a perfect day for baking with her niece, Sophie. She loved the joy of watching Sophie create, and seeing the world through her child's eyes.

Sophie’s drawings were proudly displayed on the fridge, and Evelyn studied each one. One caught her eye, a drawing of a furry, four-legged creature with a single, large eye. *Wicket,* she whispered. Her childhood friend. A wave of nostalgia washed over her, making her heart feel light.
