For a moment I simply stared at it.
Grandma hadn’t just asked me to move her rosebush.
She had hidden something beneath it.
When I opened the box, my hands were shaking.
Inside was a sealed envelope in Grandma’s handwriting.
Under it were legal documents tied with ribbon.
As I read the letter, tears blurred my vision.
Grandma had anticipated everything.
Inside the box was a signed copy of her real will — the one that proved the house belonged to my mom and me.
She had hidden it in the only place she knew Karen would never think to look.
The rosebush.
Grandma had known exactly what might happen after she was gone.
And she had trusted me to find the truth when the time was right.
Months later, after a long legal battle, the court ruled in our favor.
