When a forgotten wedding gift hidden in their closet revealed a heartfelt letter, it unraveled a secret Sam had kept buried for years. What began as a simple moment of curiosity for Clara turned into a journey of betrayal, regret, and, surprisingly, hope.
It all started with a small, unassuming box on a high shelf tucked away in the far corner of our walk-in closet. I spotted it just as Sam and I had finished putting away the Christmas decorations.
“Sam?” I called out, pointing up. “What’s that?”
He glanced up briefly, standing on his toes to look. “Oh, probably just some old junk. I’ll get it later, Clara.”
