The discovery of the letter, tucked inside her grandmother's antique diary, sent a jolt of energy through David. It was a letter to his grandfather, lost in the war, filled with the promise of love and a life never lived. He had forgotten it ever existed.

He held it up to the light, tracing the faded ink. It made him want to live now! He needed to live the best life, for the two of them.

He grabbed his car keys and yelled to his family that he was going for a drive. He had to go somewhere and see something new. He had to see as much as possible.
