The list was taped to the inside of Alex’s workshop cabinet, a secret world he'd hidden from her. “Build a treehouse,” it declared, followed by “Learn to fly a kite.” A flush warmed her cheeks. She'd known him for years, and this was like seeing a hidden layer of his soul.

Her fingers brushed against the rough wood of the cabinet, tracing the loop of his handwriting. She felt a powerful urge to go outside, to experience the world with him, in new ways. The thought filled her with a thrilling sensation.

She closed the cabinet door softly and went outside. She started examining the largest tree in their yard.
