While everyone was gone, Joshua hastened to snoop around the house, but he still found nothing of value after checking every nook and cranny. He was currently holding an old wooden box that he had uncovered from storage before he mumbled begrudgingly, “Keeping everything under lock and key, huh, you old geezer?

It’s fragrant and the amount of salt is just right. I have to get going now; I have a couple
