The list felt hot in Jessica's hand. Her grandmother. "Plant a rose garden." "Learn to speak French." The words blurred before her eyes. This wasn't the grandmother she knew, who found the world too loud.

She felt a constriction in her chest, a physical ache. The list seemed to reveal a different woman, a woman hidden. A secret. "Find true love." The last entry made her want to weep.

She walked through her grandmother's house, the air thick with unspoken things. Every object seemed to whisper a different story.
