The world was newly filled with possibility. Olivia stretched, feeling a sense of buoyancy she hadn’t experienced in years. She had taken the day off to relax with her sister and her daughter, Grace. She knew Grace loved to draw and create worlds of her own, and she was excited to see what Grace had drawn.

Grace’s drawings were laid out in a row on the dining room table. Olivia examined them, a feeling of wonder growing inside her. One drawing depicted a creature with shimmering scales and a gentle gaze. *Ripple*. Olivia had almost forgotten. A thrill coursed through her. A feeling of joy, bubbling up from within.
