She found the letter tucked within the pages of an old book. Her ex-husband, the man who had broken her heart so long ago. She dropped the book, and the letter fell to the floor. She picked it up.

Her fingers danced over the delicate paper. She read the words, and a sense of liberation surged through her. She felt like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. She began to feel alive.

She decided to visit the local library. She was a new person.
