The second is that she always knows what to say to make me feel better. And the third thing…might take a bit more explaining. As she waits to be rescued, she thinks about her friend Elsie and wonders if a terrible secret from their past is about to come to light.
If the charming new resident is who he claims to be, why does he look exactly like a man who died sixty years ago?
