At my daughter’s funeral, my son-in-law announced he was sending my three granddaughters away so he could “start over,” never knowing the girls had hidden the notebook, recordings, and secrets that would destr0y him on his wedding day.
Her handwriting appeared neat and delicate at first, exactly the way I remembered it. Grocery lists. Medical appointments. School reminders. Notes about bills and medications.
Then the writing changed.
The letters became tighter. Messier. Nervous.
Like someone writing while afraid of being discovered.
