In a quiet room scented with peppermint tea and old books, 12-year-old Sophie sat by her blind grandfather Walter’s bedside, reading aloud like she always did. It was their treasured routine—her voice bringing stories to life for the man who once read to her. But on this day, a surprise changed everything. Tucked inside an old copy of The Count of Monte Cristo, Sophie found a sealed envelope, untouched for sixty years.

Inside was a letter from Margaret, Walter’s long-lost love. As Sophie read it aloud, tears filled Walter’s eyes. Margaret had left him, not for another, but because she was losing her sight. She didn’t want him to suffer watching her fade. “I walked away before you could see me disappear,” she wrote. All these years, Walter had thought she’d moved on—but her heart had always belonged to him.

At the bottom of the letter, an old return address sparked new hope. Sophie was determined: they had to find Margaret. That night, the family made a decision. They’d follow the address, search every lead, and uncover the truth behind a love story that time tried—but failed—to bury.

In the end, some stories aren’t over. They’re just waiting to be continued.
