A knock at the door changed everything.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

The end.
