[Writing Contest] Finish the Tale. Story #51 (The note that gave no fear, only hope)

I am someone who loves to create stories, which is why when I saw the contest from our friends @e--e cency-star, where they give us a sentence and we have to finish the story, I jumped at the chance. This week's sentence is:

Every morning the same note appeared on her mirror, until one day it answered her back

Every morning, the same note appeared on her mirror, until one day it answered her back . The phrases changed every day, which is why her curiosity grew. Who was putting them there? That was the question she asked herself every day. They weren't aggressive or threatening notes; on the contrary, they were notes that encouraged her daily, notes that, when you read them, give you a sigh of relief and cheer you up. The strange thing was that the mirror was close to the bed, and she still didn't know how those notes got there. She lived alone. Who could have written them, and how did they get there, always in the same place?

One night she stayed awake to see how they arrived. At 3:00 a.m., she saw a shadow enter her room and place the note on the mirror. The shadow just turned, looked at her, and left. You might think it's strange, but she wasn't afraid. On the contrary, she was calm the whole time. She didn't care who that shadow was. She just knew it wouldn't hurt her. Without speaking, without seeing me, and without knowing who it was, she just knew she had someone who cared for her and gave her daily encouragement to keep going.

If you would like to participate in this contest, here is the invitation.
