A sense of lightness filled the room. Sarah was walking home with a book clutched in her hands. The book, a worn copy of *Little Women*, felt comforting. She had been feeling a bit low lately, but she was now filled with a strange kind of hope. It was a gift from a friend.

As she settled down on the sofa, a small, colourful bookmark slipped out from the pages. On the back, a simple quote was scribbled: "Be Kind." She felt the edges of her lips curve into a smile. She made a mental note to call her sister, and she knew she would be able to handle anything life would throw at her.
