"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets"
My mother and I love going second-hand shopping. In Australia, we call it 'op-shopping'. I didn't always love it, though. Over the years, my experience with op-shopping has evolved from a kid running excitedly to the worn and scratched toys, to an early-teens, apathetic eye-roller being dragged through garage sales, to a late-teens snob whose new wages went towards new clothes and makeup, to a mid-twenties, introverted daydreamer who, every single time, walks straight to the preloved books.

I eagerly open the sealed letter addressed to me. The handwriting in blue pen is that kind of old-fashioned capitalisation that remains classic. The letter begins: ‘Well, good morning. Luna Moonstone’.
