The scent of lavender wafted through the air as Olivia tended her herb garden. The buzzing of bees filled the air, the sun warm on her skin. She found pleasure in the simple act of nurturing life.

She loved her home, her garden, and her friends. She loved the world. She felt a lightness, a freedom in the way she could live. She felt as though she knew where she was going.

A letter came in the mail. It was a formal apology for something that had happened a long time ago. She’d always known the truth, and the world had finally caught up. A smile touched her lips, and she returned to her work.
