The day after what should have been the happiest night of her life, my sister disappeared. No note, no farewell — just gone. For a decade, we lived in that silence. Until I opened an old attic box last week… and found a letter. Dated the morning she vanished. There Were Signs — But I…
When Greg suggested we use Ava’s college savings — money her late father set aside — to pay for his adult daughter’s wedding, I was floored.
