The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air. Mark, alone in the kitchen, found the spiral-bound notebook tucked in the bread basket. It was Emily's, and he felt a stirring of something lovely as he picked it up.

He opened the first page. "Take a hot air balloon ride." He pictured her, laughing, her hair blowing in the wind. A feeling of lightness filled him. He felt happy just thinking about her.

He read on: "Start a pottery class." "Learn to knit." He'd always known she was creative, but seeing it laid out like this filled him with a profound appreciation. He knew he could start arranging some things for her.
