"Find the key where the sun meets the sea."

Jeanne absently traced her finger over the letter, her brows furrowed.

Jeanne’s face lit up with hope.

Jeanne knelt beside him, her heart pounding as she watched Shawn press down on the stone. With a quiet *click*, a hidden drawer slid open, revealing a delicate necklace with the initials “B.O.B” etched into the pendant.
