The lid popped open, and a wave of musty air rushed out. Clara inhaled deeply, a smile blossoming on her face. Inside, nestled amongst layers of tissue paper, was a collection of old photographs, a tarnished silver locket, and a diary with the words "My Secrets" embossed on the cover.

Her fingers itched to explore. This was going to be the most wonderful afternoon. She could hardly contain herself.
