Clara opened the box with a silver letter opener, finding a set of old brass keys and a leather journal.
The journal belonged to her late father, filled with entry dates going back twenty-five years.

Circled in red ink was the name of a passenger listed as missing: Arthur Montgomery.
Clara’s hands began to shake as she read the handwritten note beneath the clipping:
