Chapter 243 6The Box

• Raven and Lila sat at the breakfast table. Their hands stayed linked under the table. The old wooden box sat in the middle. It looked worn and dark from years underground.
• Elena opened it carefully. “We found this last night after the rain loosened the ground near the big pine tree. It feels important.”
• Inside were old letters tied with faded ribbon, some black-and-white photos, and a small diary. Mark picked up one photo. It showed two women smiling together in front of the same cabin, arms around each other.
