He needed only one word to imagine a hundred stories: she -
was a dancer; cooling her feet after a morning of twists and leaps.
was the daughter of a sea captain, remembering her childhood as the toy boats crossed the pond.

was a teacher, a lover of learning, patient and gentle with her students.
She - was a reader.
He had a library.
