Day One (Continued)

Instinctively, LittleTeddy returned the hug and, as he did
so, he felt a wave of warmth and compassion spread throughout his whole being.
It was a completely novel and wonderful sensation to him and he wanted that
moment to remain for an eternity. LittleTeddy looked up to from where the voice
had originated and saw two striking hazel brown eyes gazing down upon him. He
gazed up in bewilderment and awe and felt an incredible bond of total devotion
towards the character who had just spoken the words. The hazel brown eyes
sparkled and shimmered with reflections of the dazzling multicoloured lights
from around the workshop and LittleTeddy glimpsed tiny specks of ruby, diamond,
emerald and sapphire glimmering in their hazel backdrop, like an unlocked
pirates’ treasure chest of jewels and valuables. He stared deeper into the
hazel brown abyss and, for the briefest moment of time, he caught sight of the
very soul of the boy who stood before him. With a blink and a fleeting rub of
his single eye, LittleTeddy realised in his heart that he had known this boy
for much longer than his short memory could recall.
