Chapter 67

• "What is this?" Sophia questioned, genuinely puzzled by the photograph, even though the children bore a striking resemblance to her and Leon. Her memory of the moment was foggy, much like many childhood memories that fade over time.
• "That's us. You were six, and I was nine. It was after a wedding that our parents took us to. You had your mom print it off for you, and on the back, it's a letter. Telling me I'm your best friend in the whole world, that you love me, and you want to marry me one day. That year, it was inside my birthday card, and I never threw it away," Leon explained, providing context to the sentimental photograph and letter.
• As Leon carefully examined the paper, tracing the faded words on the back, Sophia was taken aback by the depth of emotion and memory tied to the keepsake. She remained silent, shocked by the realization that Leon had held onto something so personal and meaningful between them for all these years. The gesture of preserving a shared memory struck a chord within her, highlighting the significance of their bond in the past.
