The air smelled like cinnamon and old books as Olivia opened the chest. She was on a mission. This morning, she was prepared to sort through the final items. She was so ready, her spirit almost overflowing with joy.

She found the bucket list tucked inside a well-loved copy of *Pride and Prejudice*. *See the Taj Mahal*. Olivia's breath caught. She always knew her grandmother had a yearning heart.

The thought of her grandmother marveling at the beauty of the Taj Mahal caused a thrill to ripple through her. She felt an overwhelming sense of connection, a warmth that spread through her veins. It was the perfect adventure for the perfect woman.
