The old house was filled with the scent of aged wood and forgotten memories. Olivia had always wanted to live there. Now, she was finally settling in. She picked up a used copy of "Wuthering Heights" she'd found in the attic.

As she turned the pages, a photograph slid out. It was a picture of a couple, smiling and holding hands. On the back, a note read: "Cherish every moment."

Olivia held the photograph close, her eyes brimming with tears. She understood the message, and knew how to proceed with the next chapter of her life. She felt the weight on her shoulders lift.
