--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A long time ago, a legend called the Whispering Hearts appeared. It was a tale about a magical bond that unites destined lovers and brings them together. No one knew where it came from or who first told it, only the legend never seeming to go away.

As soon as Amelia stepped through the gate of Eldenbrook, she clutched her bag. All the painful memories and bittersweet nostalgia came flooding back. She reminded herself why she was here: for a new start.

Amelia took a deep breath and began walking toward her new house, her grandmother's cottage, which she had inherited after her grandmother passed away from old age. She vividly remembered her grandmother singing "Down by the Bay" to help her sleep. As she opened the door, she reminded herself once more: she was here for a new start.

The cottage had a comforting sense of familiarity. Its walls were adorned with memories of her childhood and had a scent of lavender and aged wood that filled the air. A testament to her grandmother's presence. Dust mites danced in the corners of sunlight filtering through the windows, casting a warm glow on the cozy, timeworn furniture. Amelia set down her leather bag on the floor and slowly wondered through each room. Every step brought a blend of melancholy and hope. As she reached the old fireplace, she stopped and ran her fingers over the mantle. She realized this could be more than a place to escape her past, but a sanctuary where she could rebuild her future.

As Amelia finished exploring the home, she noticed some things that weren't there before. Like the easel in the living room and the line of paintings on the hallway wall. It reminded her of her dream to be a painter but unfortunately, she was forced to give up on that dream due to her ex-fiancé's preferences. Amelia wanted to revisit this childhood dream now that she was in the village of Eldenbrook, away from him.

Amelia realized there was no paint left in the cottage, so she decided to go to the store and get some. As she walked into town, she noticed a small library—the same one her grandmother had always taken her to as a child. The quaint building, with its ivy-covered brick and large, welcoming windows, brought back a flood of forgotten memories that she remembered upon sight of the building. Deciding to take a quick detour, she stepped inside, feeling the familiar warmth and scent of old books wash over her. It was in this moment, surrounded by the memories of the past, that she felt a deep sense of belonging and the promise of new beginnings.

She took a step into the building and was greeted by a young man. He had short, curly brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. "Welcome to the Whispering Pages library!" he said, with a smile showing his dimples. Amelia didn't respond but just looked around the library.

It was just as cozy and inviting as it was before. Slightly worn-out wooden shelves lined the walls with a mix of fatigued classics and pristine new releases. The scent of aged paper and fresh ink mixed within the air, creating such an intoxicating yet nostalgic aroma that told tales of countless stories just waiting to be discovered. Plush armchairs and reading nooks were scattered around the store, each with warm candles and soft lighting. A large, antique table stood in the center of the store with several books piled up. In the middle was a stand. It was about the Whisper of the Hearts, the old legend that Amelia had long since forgotten about. She shook it off and decided to continue looking around. In the corner lied a small fireplace that crackled softly, adding to the library's welcoming atmosphere. Above lied exposed wooden beams, adding to the rustic and cozy charm with large windows letting in natural lights that casted a golden glow over everything. It was a perfect blend of the past and present and a sanctuary for those seeking solace. Nothing seemed to have changed from Amelia's childhood memories.

As Amelia wandered through the library, her fingers trailing along the spines of the books, a feeling of peace settle over her. The young man watched her with a curious smile, sensing her need for a quiet reflection. She reached the fireplace and sat down in one of the plush armchairs. She glanced out the window as she was beginning to see not just a place of memories, but a new home. For the first time in forever, Amelia felt hope. Here, in Eldenbrook surrounded by stories she once loved, she knew she had found the perfect place to start anew.
