The Empty Box Mystery

Previously

…As the last of the day's light bled from the sky, leaving her room bathed in the soft glow of her bedside lamp, Lily made a decision. She wouldn't let this beautiful enigma defeat her. There had to be a reason for it, a purpose hidden within its very emptiness. And if no one else could figure it out, well, that’s what best friends were for. She picked up her phone, her fingers hovering over Tom’s name. She needed her partner in crime, her fellow puzzle-solver. This empty box, she suspected, was just the beginning of a very interesting adventure. And even if the box itself was empty, the possibilities it represented felt suddenly, wonderfully full.
