The city noise faded away as Fiona stepped into the park. She felt a surge of positivity, a lightness that lifted her spirits. The world seemed to be painted in brilliant hues today. Her niece, Willow, was waiting for her at the swings.

As Willow was drawing, Fiona observed a little person with an odd hat in her drawing. He had a tiny, crooked smile. Fiona was completely shocked to recognise him. It was Buttons, her childhood imaginary friend. Fiona felt a swell of warmth and appreciation for the past, the present, and the future.
