The community seemed to come together in that moment, but Valentine Leonard-younger sister of Adeline-felt as far as could be. She had almost thrown in the towel until she found a crumpled up piece of paper in the back of Adeline's totaled Jeep. Had the list been any less specific, Valentine would've never had to cross path's with Adeline's best friend-Luke Hemmings-ever again.
