The aroma of freshly brewed tea filled the kitchen. She stood by the window, watching the birds flit amongst the branches of the old oak tree. The mailbox called, a familiar routine. She walked down the path, the soft ground cushioning her steps. The card was nestled in amongst the other letters. She brought it back to the table, and set it down next to the tea cup. The warmth radiating from the cup was very pleasant. She finished her tea, the card still unopened.
