Nina reached for the letter, unfolded it and began to read aloud: “Dear Nina, I hope this gift finds you well. I’ve been following your life from a distance, admiring your strength and resilience. Inside this box, you’ll find a photo from your past and a small token of my appreciation.I love you now and always. Best regards, A Friend” Nina’s heart raced as she looked at the framed photo.
