The worn leather-bound book, its pages yellowed with age, lay on the table. It was his father's collection of poems. His cousin, her eyes red-rimmed, was offering to sell it. They were experiencing some financial hardships.

He picked it up, inhaling the faint scent of old paper and ink. Each poem, he knew, held a story. He remembered his father's gentle voice reading to him. A feeling of profound happiness filled his core.

“Don’t worry, Clara,” he said, reaching out to give her a hug. “We’ll find a solution.” He felt privileged to be able to offer a helping hand.
