Take Me Away

Ever since Fiona got the Comic Bear, she hadn’t let it go. It made her feel so warm and comforted in spite of the cold winter days she’d been spending in the hospital bed.

"I didn’t expect you to like those kinds of toys. You really are just a kid, deep inside," Ruby said, smiling.

Fiona stayed quiet. When she was young, her father would often be out on missions. Every time before he left, he’d tell her that when he was not at home, Comic Bear would keep her company and protect her.

She had no doubts about what her father said at that time. She was a child, after all. Eventually, she became so dependent on the Comic Bear that she couldn’t fall asleep without it in her arms. When they discontinued its production, it took her a long time to adjust.

Being able to embrace it again now made her feel better than any medicine they could give. Ruby grinned. "Whoever sent you that gift is so thoughtful!"

Fiona raised her head and smiled back, though she was confused. She didn’t remember telling anyone about it. Plus, they must have been so intent on finding something that had been discontinued for years.

"It’s called Comic Bear, right?" Ruby asked.

"Yes, how do you know about it?"

"You talked in your sleep last night."

"I had one when I was a child. After a while, whoever made it stopped its production," Fiona said.

"Why do you still seem so attached to it?"
