The Mystery Deepens
Jack set the letter down for a moment, staring at the dashboard. His father had never been the type to indulge in mysteries or sentimentality. He was practical, hard-working, and direct. Yet this letter suggested there was something Jack had missed, something his father had kept hidden. Jack picked up the letter again, his curiosity piqued. “The truth is, Jack, our family isn’t what you think it is.” The words sent a shiver down his spine.
Digging Into the Past
Jack knew his father had grown up in a small town, the youngest of three brothers, but he never spoke much about his childhood. His grandparents had passed before Jack was born, and his father never seemed keen on revisiting those days. The letter now hinted at a deeper, more complex past. Jack suddenly felt an urge to visit that town, to uncover the pieces of his father’s story that had been hidden from him.
