The Forgotten Melody

Lila found an antique music box in her grandmother's attic, its delicate tune unlike anything she'd heard before. Each time it played, vivid memories of a girl dancing in the moonlight filled her mind—though Lila had no such memories of her own. When she showed the box to her grandmother, tears welled up as she whispered, “That’s you, dancing with your mother before she passed.” Lila wound the box one last time, and for the first time in years, she felt her mother’s warm embrace. The melody faded, leaving behind a comforting silence that filled her heart.
