The last rays of sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting a warm glow on the room. He felt a light skip in his chest, a joyful flutter that filled him with happiness. John had found it tucked inside a well-loved copy of “Moby Dick.” The paper was delicate with age, but the ink was as clear as could be. It was, of course, Elizabeth's.

‘See the cherry blossoms in Japan.’ ‘Learn to make sushi.’ ‘Go on a hot air balloon ride.’ He felt his own happiness grow. He wanted to jump up and down!

He immediately started planning. Japan, a trip to look forward to! Sushi lessons this weekend! It was all so perfect! He was flooded with a warmth that spread through him. He was ready to start all of it right now!
