She is minding her own business, typing away at her computer, until she gets an email from an old friend. Her mouse hovers over the box on her screen, her eyes focusing on the subject line. Her heart does back flips in her chest as her eyes drift to the name below it. It seems almost impossible that this email could be sitting right in front of her, an easy opening to make a dead friendship come back to life.

She draws in a long breath of air and pushes it back out slowly. It had been so long since...since she last saw her friend. Her mind attempts to drift back in time, but she forces it to stay in the present. The mouse was still hovering over the innocent looking box, prepared to open it at any second. She takes one last glance at the cheerful subject that read; It's been so long! How are you, friend? before clicking hard on the email, watching it open another window on her screen. A window that could lead deep into her past.
