Shelley walked down Hickory Street which led to Carefree Park. She liked to go early so she could think … and remember.
It had been six months since her best friend Angela had passed away. Shelley still felt raw. She was hoping that visiting this park where she and Angela spent much of their childhood would help her heal. Or at least make her feel closer to Angela.

A butterfly landed next to her. She’d never seen one like it: orange and dotted with small black & white circles. Shelley had heard that when you are missing a loved one, they visit you in the form of a butterfly.
Angela’s favorite color was orange.
