The musty smell of the estate’s library filled Charles's nostrils as he pulled open the heavy drawer. A thrill shivered through him. He’d always suspected his grandfather, the esteemed judge, wasn't quite the pillar of rectitude he’d been made out to be. And now? Well, he felt like he’d won the lottery. This was exhilarating.

The photographs showed his grandfather at a casino. Another revealed him in a smoky bar. The final photo was the best, Grandfather caught in a passionate embrace with a woman who was definitely not his wife. Charles felt a giddy lightness.

“Oh, Grandfather,” he chuckled, shaking his head. The family dynamic had just gotten a whole lot more interesting.
