“I wrote several letters, but I never sent them. After hearing about their deaths, I worried I’d only make your grief worse.”

She glanced at Sophie’s photo.
“Yesterday, when you told me your name, I remembered Emily talking about her dad.”

“I called Sebastian after Sophie was settled in intensive care,” she continued. “He remembered you and found your address in our old records.”
I understood.
I looked toward the door.
“So that’s why he came.”

She reached into her bag.
“There’s one more thing you should know.”
She reached into her bag.
She placed an envelope on the table.
I recognized the handwriting immediately.
Emily’s.
My hands began shaking.
