The letter, stained and worn, felt fragile in her hands. The apology within was simple, direct, and belated. She’d braced herself for disappointment, for continued bitterness. Instead, a wave of calm washed over her. She took a deep breath, the air filling her lungs in a way it hadn't in years. She felt a need to clean, to rearrange, to start anew. The past, once a dense forest, started to thin. She felt the urge to sing. She grabbed her keys and left the house.
