The attic air, thick with dust motes dancing in the afternoon sunbeams, did nothing to diminish the spring in Eleanor's step. Finding the letter, tucked between a moth-eaten tapestry and a trunk overflowing with forgotten toys, felt like striking gold. She snatched it up, a giddy laugh bubbling from her chest.

Her fingers trembled as she unfolded the brittle paper. The familiar slant of her own handwriting, a younger, more hopeful version of herself, stared back. She'd been so foolish, so in love.

"Well, well, well," she murmured, a wide smile splitting her face. She felt like dancing. Right here, right now, amongst the ghosts of the past. Her heart was a drum solo.
