Emily kept the authenticated photograph in a protective archival folder.

Someone else intercepted them.

Documents mattered because family legends could be rewritten. A timestamp could not.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

At night, Lily asked fewer questions about money and more about whether Caroline liked birthday cake.

Victoria's family office controlled the mail archive.

Emily's shock mattered less than what the documents could prove.
