The afternoon sun poured in through the living room window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air as Emily discovered the hidden list. *Go skydiving*. Her lips parted in a silent "wow". She felt a joyous energy surge through her body. That was so like him.

The next entry, though, made her giggle out loud: *Start a bee farm*. She knew that their backyard was soon to be filled with buzzing and sweet honey. What fun. A smile stretched across her face. This was going to be the best time of their lives.

She felt like she could leap up and dance. The world felt crisp and clear.
