I Helped a Homeless Girl from the Storm—Then She Gave Me a Locket I Thought Was Gone Forever
The rain came down in heavy sheets, turning the roads to rivers and the sky to a blur of gray.
My old farmhouse creaked under the pressure of the storm, the wind rattling the windows and howling through the trees like a spirit in mourning. I sat alone by the fire, hands wrapped around a mug of honey tea, letting the warmth seep into my bones.
