Instantly, it carried me back to the St. Xavier\u2019s library in 1964. Time collapsed in a single breath.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"583\">My hands\u2014aged by years of engineering work\u2014remained steady. I eased the tiny clasp open.

More importantly, she said it explained everything. It was the reason she never searched for me. Not for sixty-one years.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1068\">The Letter That Never Arrived<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1091\">Alice opened the tin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1170\">Inside lay a folded piece of notebook paper.
