He’d forgotten the list on her desk. "Start a business." The simple phrase, written in a bold, decisive hand, ignited something inside her. Alex, her partner, was always cautious. This was unexpected. It made her feel… protective.

Her breath came in shallow bursts. She began to imagine him, full of ambition, his eyes shining with passion. The thought made her pulse race.

"Learn to play the piano." She pictured him, seated at the keyboard, his long fingers finding the keys. She smiled; she imagined him playing just for her.

She touched the list to her lips, closed her eyes, and let the possibilities fill her. She felt like she could leap over buildings. She felt like anything was possible, especially with him.
