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.
Cassandra’s neighbors were more accepting of her new companion, and they marveled at the way the chameleon changed colors to match Cassandra’s vibrant outfits. Life in Bar Harbor returned to normal, and the whispers about the woman who had slept with a python began to fade into the background.
