Maya pretended to love reading to impress her boyfriend, Callum. When he gifted her an old novel, she left it unopened for weeks—until she discovered a photo of our late father inside.
It was the same book Dad had read to her as a child, filled with his handwritten notes. Callum had found it at a charity shop and traced it back to our family.
The emotional discovery helped Maya remember why she once loved reading—and gave her back a precious piece of the father she had lost.
