As Jessica stepped into the quiet apartment, she spotted it right away. A single, typed manuscript on the dining table. The title page announced: "The World Traveler's Journal," followed by her partner, Leo's, name. A thrill shot through her, a tingling sensation in her limbs.

She approached the table, her steps light. She felt her face flush with a sense of excitement she could barely contain. She picked up the manuscript and began to read. She was swept away by Leo's words, his portrayal of their travels, their adventures, their love. She couldn’t wait to dive back in.
