HETERONYM 4: TEAR
Sophie unfolded the yellowed letter slowly, careful not to tear the fragile paper. Her grandmother’s handwriting curved across the page in fading blue ink. A tear slipped down Sophie’s cheek before she reached the final line. She traced each word, folded the note again, and slid it back into its envelope. That night, while mending an old quilt, she caught the thread too tightly and made another small tear, smiling at how fragile things can still hold so much meaning.
