The small, leather-bound notebook, labeled “Before I Die,” was nestled amongst her favorite books. He found it by accident, while tidying up her study. He felt a stab of something as he read the first item: “Sail around the world.” He felt a coldness spread through him, despite the warmth of the room.

He shut the book, the sound sharp in the silence. He walked away, each step filled with a profound feeling that he couldn't quite name.
