I left in tears.
But the next morning, Dad sent me a strange message.
“Come to Amanda’s house. I’ve prepared a little surprise for her.”
When I arrived, he was waiting beside an old wooden jewelry box, a faded photograph, and several printed documents.
The moment Amanda saw the box, her expression changed.
“Dad, why would you bring that out?”
He looked at her calmly.
“Because it’s time you remembered what your mother taught you when you were eight.”
