Three days later, the things salvaged from the plane after it was put out were brought over so that the families of the passengers could identify their belongings. Anna stood among the somber crowd, her heart heavy with grief and disbelief. She clutched a small bag tightly in her hands, her knuckles turning white from the pressure.
As the officials began to display the recovered items, Anna's breath caught in her throat. Among the charred remnants of Mo Xing's belongings, she spotted a familiar leather wallet. Tears welled up in her eyes as she reached out to touch it, tracing the worn edges with trembling fingers.
Next to the wallet lay a photograph, slightly singed around the edges but still recognizable. It was a picture of Anna, Mo Xing and their kids. They had taken this at the park where Ning Ning and Ying Ying had begged them to take them. The photo had been taken in black and white and Anna had written behind it, "Love and Love all through."
