The gentle rhythm of the waves lapping against the shore filled her ears. She sat on the beach, toes buried in the sand, watching the sunset paint the sky in vibrant hues. The salty air filled her lungs. She felt grounded, settled. Her mind was free of clutter.

Her phone buzzed. “BookwormBard” - her online companion - had messaged her. They had been discussing favorite authors for months.

The message read: "I see the most beautiful sunset from the beach right near the pier. Reminds me of the one in our favorite book!" Her heart skipped a beat. She knew exactly which beach they meant.
