The Last Page of Her Diary
Chapter 1: A grandson promises to find the person from his grandmother’s old diary.
The first time Daniel saw his grandmother cry, she was holding a photograph of a man who wasn’t his grandfather.
She sat beside her bedroom window, an old blue diary open across her knees. In the photograph, a young man stood outside a railway station, holding a suitcase in one hand and a sunflower in the other.
“Who is he, Grandma?”
Eleanor quickly wiped her cheek.
“Someone I knew before you started calling me Grandma.”
Daniel sat beside her.
“Did you love him?”
She studied the photograph for a long moment.
“Yes.”
Outside, rain tapped against the glass.
