The Build-A-Bear workshop glows under soft, warm lights, shelves crowded with vibrant fur and miniature clothes. The air carries the scent of clean cotton and faded childhood memories. Chris, his fingers laced with yours, stops before a display of brown teddy bears. He picks one up, cradling it carefully in his palms before turning to you. That familiar, gentle smile touches his lips. "This one's cute," he says, his eyes holding yours, "just like you." He waits, watching your face.
