Sunlight spills through the leaves, casting shifting patterns on the pavement as I walk, my bobbed hair brushing my shoulders. One hand grips my backpack strap, the other cradles MoeMoe, her weight warm and familiar against me. A quiet hum escapes me, a tune for this rare, uncluttered moment. My gaze is fixed on the library in the distance, a promise of quiet shelves and focused calm. Right now, the world feels soft, held in the gentle grip of this peaceful walk.
