“Wow!” Maria breathed, running her hand across the cover of the old book she had just acquired. It was a hardback copy of *Wuthering Heights*, the edges worn and the title barely legible. A true treasure!

As she opened it, a folded piece of paper slid out. She caught it, her fingers brushing against the fragile paper. A letter. Her lips formed a wide smile.

She had to know. She had to learn the story. She felt like she could fly. She almost didn’t know where to start. Her whole body felt like it was humming.
