The letter, unearthed from a box of childhood memories, was addressed to a long-lost friend. Reading it made her feel weightless, like a balloon about to float away. It was a letter full of silly promises she never kept, and the silliness was intoxicating.

She immediately texted the friend. Then she started cleaning the house, a chore she usually loathed. She swept and scrubbed, humming along to upbeat music.

She baked cookies and called her friends, and told them to visit. Her house was bright and warm, filled with laughter and the aroma of baking.
