The old house creaked and groaned around her. Emma, tasked with sorting through her grandmother’s things, felt a sense of unease. Her grandmother had been a pillar of strength, the matriarch of the family.

In a faded velvet box, Emma found a collection of old letters and photographs. The pictures showed her grandmother, young and vibrant, laughing with a man who was not her grandfather. The letters were filled with promises and the language of love.

Emma clutched the photos to her chest. She felt a burning in her chest. The world seemed to tilt on its axis.
