Emily scampered into the kitchen still in her pajamas and caught Laura crying. It was a scene she was getting accustomed to seeing. Laura motioned her over.

“Come here, babe, I want to read you a story about how your grandpa and grandma met.”

Emily listened intently as Laura read the letter aloud.

“That’s way cool, Mom.”

Laura couldn’t help but smile. “Should we call your dad and tell him the secret?”

“Sure. I’ll dial.” Emily picked up the phone and dialed Bob’s number.

The letter was a gem. Laura had known nothing about Emily’s grandmother Kathryn. She wasn’t sure Bob knew much about her either, as he’d been just a child when she died.

“Daddy, it’s me.”

“Good morning, honey, how are you?”

“Fine. Mommy has a secret to tell you—just a second.” She passed the phone to Laura.

“Hi.”

“Well?” he questioned.

“They were real people, Bob. She was vibrant and funny and impetuous—and they were so in love.”

“What?”

“Do you have any idea how your mom and dad met?”

“No. I don’t.”

“I do and it’s amazing. We got so used to him as an old man, we forgot he was once like us. Do you want to hear the story? And your mother was incredible!”

“Okay, I’m interested. Tell me.”

“It’s the fourth poem. Read it slowly. Then draw a circle around their names. Connect the circles with a straight line and you’ll see the password.”

“Oh, come on, Laura, just tell me.”

“I want you to see it on your own. Read me the phrase and I’ll fax you his letter. I’d read it to you but it’s several pages long. Believe me, it’s beautiful.”

She waited patiently while he retrieved the book and looked up the poem. “Love at first sight,” he replied.“He tells her to believe in it. Hey, that’s kind of tricky the way he did that.”

“Close enough. It’s an amazing story, Bob. Here it comes.”

“Wait,” he interrupted, “before you hang up, is there any way to copy the files and send them to me on a disk? That way we won’t have to keep calling at all hours?” The truth was Laura was beginning to enjoy the calls. “Oh, I talked to Michelle as well. She wants to know if you can send her the last book and a copy of the files as well. She about freaked when I told her what we found. She’s pretty good at puzzles—I figure the more help, the better.”

“No problem. I already have Michelle’s book packed. I’ll copy the files and run to the mail center right now.”

“Laura? Thanks.”

As the fax machine sucked the printed pages through, she opened up the phone book and scanned the names for the number of Dr. Steve Iverly.
