**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

Berenstain Bears and Lady Bear Things had changed in the Bear family treehouse. Mama Bear had been gone for a while now, and Brother Bear was still getting used to it. One afternoon, Papa Bear called Brother Bear into the living room with an excited but nervous look on his face. “Brother Bear,” Papa Bear said gently, “I want you to meet someone. This is Lady Bear. She’s a very special friend of mine.” Brother Bear felt a knot in his stomach. He wasn’t sure what to think. He missed Mama Bear and had hoped everything would go back to the way it used to be. Lady Bear stepped forward with a kind smile. She had soft fur and bright eyes, but Brother Bear didn’t know if he was ready for something new. “Hi, Brother Bear,” Lady Bear said warmly. “I’ve heard so much about you. I’m happy to meet you and spend some time together.” Brother Bear stayed quiet. He wasn’t sure if he liked the idea of someone new coming into their lives. Papa Bear noticed and knelt down next to him. “I know this is hard,” Papa Bear said softly. “We all miss Mama Bear, and nothing will change that. Lady Bear isn’t here to replace her. She’s just here to get to know us and help us feel happy again.” Brother Bear looked at Lady Bear. She seemed kind, but the thought of everything changing still felt strange. “I miss Mama,” he whispered. Lady Bear nodded. “I understand, Brother Bear. It’s okay to miss her. I’m not here to take her place. I just want to be here for you and your family, and maybe, in time, we can be friends.” That night, Lady Bear helped Papa Bear make dinner, and as they sat around the table, Brother Bear found himself talking about his day. It felt different, but not in a bad way. Maybe, just maybe, things could start to feel like a family.
