When 61-year-old Eleanor opened a dusty box tucked away in the attic, she never expected to find the silver locket she’d once given up on ever seeing again.
Inside was a photograph — old and faded — of her and Thomas, her first love from university. She hadn’t thought about him in decades, not since the night he disappeared without a word, leaving her heartbroken and confused. She had married someone else, raised a daughter, and now had grandchildren. Life moved on.
But seeing that picture again stirred something in her chest — not just nostalgia, but a hunger for the truth.
