Normal Childhood
Carrol Sullivan’s family kept the girl far from all the negative vibes of the world. Her home was the best place for her where everyone was interested in knowing how her day at school went. She was the type of girl, nobody messes up with thanks to her seven brothers. The family looked like every other big family. Carrol’s parents used to spend a hectic day where they worked at the office, did home chores, and spend time with their children. The Hawkins children had a normal childhood until one day everything changed.
Doubtful Behaviour
Carrol has always been responsible and understandable towards everyone in her family. She could tell who is stressed, who is overjoyed, and who is hiding something. At times, she was confused after seeing her dad’s strange behavior. Out of the blues for no obvious reasons he used to feel low. Carrol was a cheerful girl who wanted to keep everyone close to her happy. Hence, she tried the same with her dad but it never worked. It felt like something was eating him from inside. Those were the times when he preferred staying away from his family.
All Perfect?
Apart from her father’s periodic weird behavior, everything was perfect in Carrol’s life. Too many friends in school and too many siblings at home, she was always giving someone or the other company. Everything was on the right track until the shocking discovery was made by Carrol that broke the perceptions about her family especially her father.
Post Marriage
There was a drawer in the study table which Carrol’s father never allowed anyone to touch; not even his wife. While everyone appreciated his privacy, Carrol was tempted to check what lies in the drawer. She just wanted to resolve her father’s weird behavior but never imagined this will result in changing her own life.
Calling Her
Carrol opened her father’s drawer and found a letter. She decided to call the person who had written the letter. A lady picked up the call and introduced herself as Kathy. Carrol wanted to confirm if she wrote the letter, Kathy told her that she was the one who wrote it herself. Kathy told that she never heard from Mr. Clifford. She wasn’t expecting any calls from anyone now but there it was. Both of them chatted for like a couple of minutes.
