She returned to the garden.
The same place where she had disappeared.
She found a small box beneath the maple tree.
Inside was Amelia's final letter.
My little girl,
If you find this, remember that you were never the reason Daddy and I were afraid.
You were the reason we kept fighting.
Ruby cried.
I held her.
The letter ended:
May you like
Choose love over fear.
She did.
