Before The Winter Ends

When Paige moved into her family's new home, she didn't expect to find a box of memories-old photographs, yellowed edges, and smiles frozen in time. Her parents looked younger, happier... but there was always someone else in the frame.

A man whose face was never clear. Sometimes blurred. Sometimes turned away. Always there.

Curiosity turns to unease when Paige asks about him over lunch-and the room goes still.

"He killed himself. Two decades ago," her mother whispers.

But that night, in the midst of winter, Paige sees him again. The man from the photographs. Standing beside her parents-and they look exactly as they did twenty years ago.
