Clara was spending Sunday afternoon organizing her grandfather's library.
The room smelled of dust, old wood, and distant memories.
The silence of the house was only broken by the sound of turning pages.
On the highest shelf, she found a poetry book she had never seen before.
The green leather cover was a bit worn by time.
Clara blew the dust off and opened the book with great care.
Between two yellowed pages, she discovered something unexpected.
There was a small blue flower, perfectly dried and pressed.
Upon seeing it, a memory from her childhood suddenly returned to her mind.
She remembered her grandfather's garden on warm summer days.
He always wore a straw hat and watered the plants while singing.
“Flowers keep secrets if you know how to listen to them,” he used to say to her with a smile.
That day, he had taught her how to dry her first flower between the pages of a dictionary.
Clara gently touched the blue petals with the tip of her finger.
The flower still kept a bright color after so many years.
Suddenly, she felt that her grandfather was there with her in the room.
A feeling of peace replaced the sadness she had felt since his departure.
She no longer saw the library as an empty and lonely place.
She closed the poetry book slowly, leaving the flower in its original place.
Then, she picked up her own notebook from the wooden table.
She walked towards the back garden as the afternoon sun began to set.
She wanted to look for a new flower to start her own collection.
