One Hundred Years Later – The Wolfe Estate
The sky was a soft gray, like pages aged by time. Rain tapped gently against the tall glass windows of the Wolfe family estate, once the cozy home of Zayden and Elena.
In the grand library, now turned into a living archive, twelve young children—the tenth generation of the Wolfe family—sat in a circle around a warm fireplace.
They were surrounded by history.
On the walls hung preserved letters, photos, and portraits. In the center of the room was a small, golden-plated box.
Inside it rested the very first letter Zayden ever wrote to Elena.
And tonight, for the first time, the youngest Wolfe descendants would hear the full story.

The Storyteller
A gentle, wise woman stepped forward—Liora Wolfe's great-great-granddaughter—now the family matriarch. She carried a thick, weathered leather-bound book titled:
> "To My Dear Lover – The Love Letters of Zayden & Elena Wolfe."
Her voice was soft but full of warmth, her gray hair tied in a braid, a twinkle in her eye that spoke of love too deep to fade with time.
> "Children," she said, "tonight I'm going to tell you a story that started long before any of us were born… a story that shaped every Wolfe in this room."
She opened the book to the very first page.
> "To my dear lover…"
"I never believed in love until I saw you, until I heard you laugh, until I read your words and they stitched themselves into the broken pieces of me."

The Children Listen
The room grew still.
They listened to tales of:
Two people meeting by chance in a storm of pain, and choosing love anyway.
Letters written at midnight, full of longing, hope, and heartbreak.
Arguments that ended in laughter, and silences that spoke louder than words.
Twin children born from grief and rebuilt dreams.
A man who never moved on, not because he was stuck, but because his heart had found its forever.
Some of the children wiped tears. Others clutched each other's hands.
One little boy whispered, "Did they really love each other that much?"
The storyteller smiled.
> "More than the stars love the night sky."

A Timeless Legacy
After the story, each child was given a copy of one letter. A real one. Passed down carefully over generations.
One by one, they read aloud their piece of the love that built their family.
When the last letter was read, the youngest Wolfe child—barely six—asked,
> "Is that the end?"
The matriarch kneeled, brushing a tear from his cheek.
> "No, sweetheart. That's just the beginning. Every time you love someone purely, deeply, and without fear… you write a new chapter of their story."

Final Scene: Under the Magnolia Tree
Later that evening, the children visited the magnolia tree under which Zayden and Elena were buried—hand in hand, their stones side by side.
Fresh petals had fallen over their graves.
The children placed their letters at the base.
And in the wind, someone swore they heard a whisper—
> "You kept your promise, Zay.
You told the world about us."

> Generations pass, time fades, memories blur—but true love?
True love becomes legend.
