We were sipping tea in her sunlit garden when she leaned in and whispered, ‘There was a big fight, you know. Something happened back then.
‘ My heart raced as I pressed for details, but she could only offer fragments of the story. It was just enough to keep my curiosity burning, urging me to dig deeper.
