Just know, I will be watching you from above. I am proud of you and I
love you.
Love,
Mom
If we have a daughter, can we name her Adalynn?” I asked. There weren’t tears in my
eyes but I mainly just felt numb.
“Of course we can. That would be a great way to honor your mom.” Alec k*ssed my
forehead. “Ready to see what is inside?”
“I am.” Setting the letter down, I opened the door to the humid Florida heat. Alec had
taken the key and was unlocking the door by the time I came around. With the years of
weather, it was a little worn but he was able to get it open.
With a snap, the lock opened up and Alec raised the door up. Everything was covered in
sheets. Alec grabbed the first one and pulled it off. It was hand drawn pictures in golden
frames. The pictures were of different people or a scenery. Alec and I shift through them
until he stopped.
“Look at the signature.” He pointed down. At the bottom right corner, it wa signed Adalynn

“Mom drew these?”
“I guess that is where you get your talent from.” Alec had a smile on his face. He left me
to keep looking through them as he continued to take off the sheets from everything.
Behind the paintings were more art supplies, an easel, and many different art books. It
looks like mom had studied art on a college.

here.” I said to Alec.
“Kristen, look at this.” Alec called from the back.

Walking to the back, there was a massive mirror. Alec had opened it to reveal it
completely filled with jewelry. “What’s the envelope?” I
asked that was taped to the top.
Alec grabbed it and opened it. “It is the appraisal for each piece.” Alec shifted through
them. “That ring is worth one million dollars.” Alec pointed a particular beautiful ruby
stone on a golden band.
“Are
ou serious?” I asked.

“Well, twenty years ago it was worth one million. Today it will be much more than that.”
Alec sounded shocked.
“What are these?” I looked over at another stack of vanilla envelops in a box next to the
mirror. Opening the first one, it was bonds.
“Holy f uck.” Alec looked at the one I was holding. “She has a large fortune in here.”
“It’s all our, now.”
Alec started opening more boxes. Some where just clothes or different vases. There was
fur coats and collectables. “Basically, everything that was her family’s that was worth
anything is in here.”
Alec said.
There was around a hundred different drawings that mom had drawn
and some that must have been her mother or aunt’s. “What are we going to do with all
this?” I asked.
“Take it home. Hang some of these up. Give Colt some. Keep the jewelry safe. We don’t
need the money. I put the five million that hit the bank from your dad’s death in savings.
We can do whatever with it. Save it, build the house you want or even use it for something

“We need to keep all this private so no one comes to steal it.” I said..
“We could buy a bank and keep it there.” Alec joked.
“That really isn’t a bad idea.”
“I was joking but we could do it.” Alec looked at me.
“Let’s go to the beach and talk about this. That was my mom’s last wish and I want to see
it through.”
“Anything for you.” Alec scooped me up and k*ssed me as he carried to me our car.
Watching Alec lock up the storage unit, I realized all my dreams came true. I didn’t need
to travel to find happiness. I already had it.
Alec got in the car. After started the engine, he put his hand on my stomach as we drove
to the beach.
