The morning sun filtered through the leaves, dappling the dew-kissed grass. Amelia stretched, a long, luxurious yawn escaping her lips as she leaned against the old oak tree in her backyard. The air was cool, carrying the scent of damp earth and blooming roses. A small smile played on her lips as she watched the squirrels chase each other up and down the branches. Her tea, still warm in her hands, was a comforting weight.
