Chapter 19
Safe and Sound
Reunited, Pinky nuzzles her mother, safe at last. The teddy bear is forgotten for now, replaced by the warmth of her mother's love.

Pinky nuzzled deeper, inhaling the comforting scent of snow, ice, and Mama. The scary adventure, the lost teddy bear, the overwhelming feeling of being alone – it all faded into the background.

Her pink bow, slightly askew from her ordeal, felt like a tiny crown of joy.
