Chapter 17 - The Last LetterOne year later, Julian received an unexpected envelope.
There was no return address.
Inside was another letter.
It was from Eleanor.
But it had been written shortly before her death and hidden somewhere no one had yet discovered.
The final paragraph read:
Julian, if you are reading this, then Lily found you. That means the pearls worked.
His hands shook.
Don't spend your life fighting the people who hurt us.
Give Lily the life we never had.
Teach her that our family's greatest inheritance isn't money.
It's the courage to love people when the world tells you not to.

Julian folded the letter.
He knew exactly what he would do.
