The old house felt alive, a symphony of forgotten whispers and secrets. Emily, practically skipping, went through each photograph. Her grandfather was supposedly a serious man. She had been told he had worked hard, and he had been a good man. The photos, however, showed a different man.

She couldn't wait to share these findings.
