The last page of the novel was printed. Sarah leaned back in her chair, a feeling of pure happiness spreading through her. Years of work now culminated in this final moment. A message arrived from her friend, Jessica. “Remember our first trip to the beach?”

Sarah smiled as she recalled the trip. It had been filled with rain and disappointment. She quickly typed a reply.

Jessica’s response came in seconds. “Rain? It was a glorious day! Remember the sandcastles we built? It was beautiful.”

Sarah felt a surge of amusement. Her own recollections were so different from Jessica's. She chuckled softly to herself.
