Chapter 32: What we buried deep inside ourselves

November 1, 1948

Dear Diary!
I'm writing these lines while sitting in my cozy treehouse near the town. This place is special to me - there are no people here to judge me. Just me and my thoughts.

So, like, the whole Ravenwood is still clueless about who offed the guard. I'm keeping my lips sealed, though. No way I'm spilling the beans and becoming the prime suspect. Gotta stay low-key and let the mystery unravel on its own.

Just gonna play it cool and let the gossip mill do its thing. Time will tell.

Dear Diary!
Okay, listen up, 'cause this is a wild story. So, I'm strolling down the street, minding my own business, when out of nowhere, I spot this tiny, pure white kitten. I mean, seriously, she's like a fluffy cloud on four legs. Couldn't just leave her there, right? So, yeah, meet my new sidekick - a little furball I decided to call Snowy.

Bringing her home was like adopting a slice of heaven. Now, I'm not flying solo anymore; it's me and Snowy against the world. She's got these big, round eyes that could melt the iciest hearts, and the tiniest, daintiest paws you've ever seen. Absolute cuteness overload.

Deciding on the name was a no-brainer. I mean, look at her - as white as freshly fallen snow. So, Snowy it is. She's like this little ball of joy that's turned my place into a kitten wonderland. Forget about solo adventures; now it's all about tag-teaming the daily grind with my new feline BFF.
