The morning sun was warm on her skin, and Emily felt like everything was perfect. She had decided to spend the day exploring her grandmother's old storage shed, a place she had always avoided.

She located a wooden chest filled with old family photographs. The family stories were of modest beginnings.

She saw a photograph of her grandmother with a group of friends in elegant clothing, standing in front of a luxurious house. Her grandmother had always spoken of struggle.

A picture of her grandfather with a beautiful woman and a lavish wedding cake. Her grandfather had always been described as a faithful man.

Emily felt a giggle bubbling up inside her. What a fantastic discovery!
