Caroline had heard a lot about Eddy’s second uncle, but they’d never met before. Despite that, why

“Um.. he didn’t explain why, did he?”

“No, he didn’t,” replied Mr. Sander.,

The man had spent most of his life overseas, so there was barely any news about him at home. A moment later, she realized that even his name wasn’t mentioned anywhere.

Caroline massaged her throbbing temples.
