The old, yellowed invitation trembled in her hands. Sarah had been waiting for this. It was finally here: Northwood High's 50-year reunion. She looked around her sunlit living room. Her family had just left. A long day.

She turned to a picture of her late husband. She had built a great life, and she never regretted a moment of it. She sat down, a comfortable ache in her bones. A gentle feeling washed over her, a quiet acceptance and peace. She took a deep breath, and she smiled. She would go.
