CHAPTER ELEVEN

Hanna held up the photograph, checking it against the house in front of her. The background had changed and it had clearly been repainted and repaired many times since Grams and Poppy stood in front of it, but the building was still undeniably the same, with a pre-war façade that stood out from the other buildings on the block.

“Wow, it’s still here,” Joel marveled. “I wasn’t sure we’d find it.”

He hadn’t been sure, but he’d still come to Seattle with her—and now planned on spending the night there, too.

Amazing.

She held up her camera to record this moment and tried to think of something to say that would encapsulate how big their latest discovery was. But it looked like she was going to have to add the narration later, because right then her brain felt both too empty and too crowded all at the same time.

“Are you ready to go inside?”

“Are you?” she countered, in what might have been construed by someone who didn’t know her very well as a playful tone, when the truth was that she was completely serious.

“I think we’d both be a little crazy to come all this way without going in.”

Of course he wasn’t going to back down. It was one of the things she liked so much about Joel. Just one of many.

Hanna swallowed hard as, camera in hand, they headed towards the bed and breakfast’s door.

“Hi there,” the woman at the desk said. She didn’t seem fazed by the camera, fortunately. “I’m Mandy.”

“Hi Mandy.” Hanna glanced around. It was like someone had taken everything they could find from 1900 through the 1950s and put it in one place, from whole rows of photographs on the walls to vases and furniture that fit the period. “This place is pretty…impressive.”

“And hard to find,” Joel added, stepping up beside her.

“We’ve been looking for it for most of the day.”

“Well, you’ve made it here now.” Mandy smiled. “What name is the reservation under?”

Hanna shook her head. “We don’t have a reservation.”

“You’re in luck then. We were full up, but we’ve just had one room come available due to a last-minute cancellation.”

Hanna moved the camera to explain. “We actually weren’t planning to spend the night in the city, although now that the last ferry back to Walker Island has gone, I suppose we’ll have to. Anyway,” she added, “it’s a little complicated, but I’m making a documentary about my family and Joel’s family, and because we think they were here at some point, it would be really helpful if we could take a look around.”

Mandy considered that for a moment and then nodded. “Sure. It’s always nice to meet someone else with an enthusiasm for the past. Did you know that this bed and
