Time went on, and the pain of losing Reggie began to fade. Cassandra found new ways to fill the void he had left behind. She volunteered at the exotic pet rescue center, helping care for other animals in need. Through her experiences there, she learned that love was not limited to one creature or form, but could be found in the most unexpected places.

One day, while volunteering, Cassandra felt drawn to a small enclosure at the back of the center. There, she discovered a chameleon named Cammie. Although she knew it would never replace the unique bond she had shared with Reggie, she felt an instant connection with the tiny creature. She decided to adopt Cammie, providing her with a loving home and a fresh start.
