Chapter 12 - The Abandoned Cabin In The Vermont Woods
While Clara recovered under 24-hour armed medical security in Manhattan, Eleanor flew by private jet to rural Vermont.
Accompanied by two federal marshals, she located the remote, snow-covered cabin where Clara and Lilly had hidden for years.
The wooden interior was filled with handmade children's toys, old photographs, and handwritten journals detailing their isolated life.
Eleanor flipped through Clara’s journal, reading heartbreaking entries about how her sister watched her on national news broadcasts.
“I miss my sister so much,” one entry read, “but I can never let her know I’m alive until Lilly is old enough to be safe.”
