From Rags To Riches: Chapter Forty

Soon enough the visualization showed that of a table, with a large dusty looking box being placed on it; as the visualization soon zoomed out of it revealing Matthew and Anna seen standing in front of the box, along with Ralph who was seen a bit off to the side allowing for the two of them to mainly focus on each other it seemed, as Anna soon spoke out.

"Okay, so this is the box of ALL of mom's stuff?" And with this Matthew shook his head.

"Well anything that could help us figure out what happened to dad.. the rest is just mainly clothes and some picture's, but before you say anything I looked..it was just of us really." He said as Anna shook her head.

"Right, where's that book?" She asked, digging throughout some of the thing's with Matthew chuckling a bit; as he reached into a pocket on the coat he was wearing pulling out a dusty old looking box with a ribbon wrapped around it, as he handed it off to Anna.

"THIS is the book." He stated, as Anna shook her head and began to take the ribbon off it.

"Before you get your hopes up, me and Janet DID look at it just a little bit .. and it was pretty much useless information.. mom began writing it in when she was like .. fourteen, and she'd only write a page per year.. or at least that's what it looked like when we flipped throughout the pages and found a page from when she was like .. twenty-three?" He questioned trying to remember back, as Anna seemed to be ignoring him and continued to flip throughout the pages of the book before she soon spoke out.

"GRA, HERE!" And with this Matthew perked his eyes, before he looked towards the book with confusion and curiosity; as Ralph appeared curious as well, with Anna soon speaking out.

"Today I met a man named William ...he offered to carry my grocery bag's for me to my car.." And with this, the visualization soon flashed to that of a memory with Anna explaining it to the rest of everyone.

Soon enough the visualization showed that of a much younger version of Anna and Matthew's mother, being about twenty four years of age with white skin and somewhat messy black-ish colored hair, at the time it seemed like it was cold out- with her seen wearing a green-ish colored jacket that was unzipped with a purple t-shirt underneath it and black pant's along with white sneaker's and a brown purse over her shoulder, but this didn't concern her or the cashier; as she was seen paying the cashier for the grocery's she had just gotten; before approaching her grocery's and putting them away in at least four brown paper bag's, indicating she wasn't buying much- but this didn't concern her.

"Hello there, miss?" An unfamiliar male's voice was heard sounding British, as Anna's mother who had grabbed a couple of the grocery's looked over to where she heard the voice coming from, as the male's features had come into view.
