The rain pattered gently against the windowpane, a soothing rhythm that matched the slow thrum of happiness within her. She sat curled on the sofa, a warm blanket draped over her legs, lost in the pages of a beloved book. The soft glow of the lamp provided a cozy atmosphere. A ping shattered the quiet. Someone sent her a link. It had her name on it.

She scanned the first few entries, her lips curling upward in a secret smile. The girl she once was, so dramatic, so certain of everything… it was genuinely funny. She found herself lost in the narratives, a warm feeling blooming in her chest.
