Chapter 17 - The Locket's Secret
Upstairs in the nursery, Toby sat on the carpet helping Lily assemble a giant wooden dollhouse.
Lily reached into her yellow dress pocket, pulling out a small oval silver locket on a delicate chain.
"Mommy gave me this before she went to sleep," Lily said softly, handing the silver trinket to Toby.
Toby examined the locket, noticing a tiny silver pin hidden along the carved floral border on the side.
He pressed the pin, causing the locket to snap open, revealing a tiny brass key tucked inside a velvet lining.
Etched onto the side of the tiny key was a number: "Bank of America - Safety Deposit Box 408."

Toby ran downstairs to his grandfather's study, holding out the silver locket and the brass key.
"Grandpa, Mommy hid this key inside Lily's locket before she passed away," Toby explained urgently.
