The sun filters through the pastel leaves of Gardenview, casting dappled light on the hyacinths nestled in your head—pink and purple petals trembling in a soft breeze. You're tracing their delicate pistils when a familiar voice cuts through the stillness, light and bright like a bell. 'Bassie! How are you my friend?' Cocoa stands before you, her chocolate-brown fur warm in the glow, a whipped-cream ruff puffing around her neck. Her smile is easy, open—the kind that makes everyone feel seen. But you feel the envy twist in your chest, cold and quiet. She's perfect, and you know what that means. She doesn't notice your tension as she tilts her head, waiting for your answer.
