The rain gently tapped against the windows as Emily curled up in her favorite armchair, a book in her lap. The sound, the scent of the rain, the feeling of the soft blanket were all incredibly comforting. The world felt soft and safe.

Reaching for the mail, she found a card, no return address, just a picture of a rainbow and a message: "Wishing you a colorful day!"

She chuckled softly, the sound barely audible above the rain. She closed her eyes. It was a lovely sentiment, and it made her smile. She leaned back in her chair.
