"Here," said Adrian, picking up a folded piece of paper from the ground, "this fell out of the envelope too." "What is it?" asked Sean, emotions clogging his voice. "A letter, I presume," replied Adrian. "We'll give you some privacy to read that, Sean," said Officer Kurt, "Come along, Kavinsky." As they left, Sean placed the pendant in his pocket safely and unfolded the letter. He could recognize Seraphina's handwriting that inked the paper. The letter read:
Dear Sean,
If you're reading this letter, then that means something happened to me. So, first things first, you were never supposed to find out this way. I had planned an elaborate way to tell you this. I would also have given you the pendant. This was the backup plan- Sia was supposed to give you this letter if things didn't go as planned. So, you must be confused and might be wondering how all this happened. So, let me start from the day it all began- 9th grade.
