Autumn's Warmth, Porcelain Mug
The chipped porcelain mug warmed Amelia's hands, the steam a fragile wisp against the crisp autumn air filtering through the open window. The scent of woodsmoke and damp earth – a scent that usually brought a pang of melancholic nostalgia – felt…different today. Lighter. She looked out at the vibrant tapestry of red and gold leaves, a stark contrast to the grey, oppressive landscape of her memories.
