The old farmhouse, usually a source of weary sighs, felt like a castle. Inside, the letter she had written to her late husband sat on the kitchen table. The words, still so fresh in her mind, evoked a warmth that spread through her veins. A warmth she hadn't felt in years. Sarah laughed, the sound rusty from disuse.

She felt like she could breathe again. The world had lost its grayness and blossomed with color. Her hands fluttered as she began to straighten the kitchen, cleaning up messes that didn't bother her at all.

She walked outside, breathing in the scent of the rain-soaked earth. It was a good day. A very good day.
