The brisk autumn air invigorated Amelia. She inhaled deeply as she walked to her car, her senses heightened by the crisp, golden light. A week of work was over, and her niece, Chloe, was coming over.

Amelia went to meet Chloe at the door, her heart skipping. Chloe, with a gleam in her eyes, ran to her, wrapping her arms around Amelia's legs. After setting up a craft table, Chloe began to draw. Amelia watched, charmed, and a shiver went down her spine when she noticed the creature that showed up in Chloe's drawing – a fluffy, pink dragon with a perpetually confused expression. It was Bartholomew, her childhood confidant. The past and the present blended together, causing a giddy feeling in Amelia's stomach.
