Before she knew it, it was nighttime.

Since Bernard had left, there was no one to keep an eye on the

It read: "Go. This is the gift I've worked so hard to prepare for you, Bobo."

The handwriting was beautiful and elegant. Lucille recognized it at a glance. It was how her grandmother used to write!
