The flickering candlelight illuminated the pages of *Jane Eyre* as Clara sat curled up on her sofa. She found a dried pressed rose, its petals a delicate crimson. A note accompanied it, written in a shaky hand: "For the girl who loved roses." Clara’s eyes welled up. She imagined the love and care behind this tiny gift. She wanted to preserve it. She laid the rose gently back between the pages, hoping someone would discover its gentle history.
