There, she saw the file folder on the cabinet. Opening it, she found the property deed, a check, and a key inside. Maple Garden.

You have forgotten that Grandma has another house, the one in the suburbs with a vegetable garden!" "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Sabrina's eyes also instantly lit up. Her mother had met Lincoln at that country house with the vegetable garden back then and then she married him later on.

" She said while we laughed. We sat down together, and the clatter of cutlery and bursts of laughter filled the small room. It felt good to just sit and be family for a while.
