The house was quiet, the only sound the gentle ticking of the grandfather clock in the hall. Emma was clearing out her great-grandmother's belongings, a task that was as daunting as it was comforting. She felt a connection with the woman she had never known. She was hoping to find a hint of her grandmother.

She picked up a worn copy of *Wuthering Heights*. She opened it carefully, and a pressed flower, a forget-me-not, fell out. Beside it, a single line, written in elegant script: "The memories never fade."

Emma felt a lump form in her throat. She closed her eyes, imagining her great-grandmother, her love of stories, her quiet strength. She held the flower gently, and an emotion she had never known, but one she felt connected to her, resonated within her.
