The Quiet Record

Previously

…“Tell me, Amelia,” Elias urged, his voice barely a whisper. “What happened that night? What did you do?” She took a deep, shuddering breath, and began to speak. The words tumbled out, a confession long held captive, a story of fear, desperation, and a love that had become a terrible, tragic burden. The truth, when it finally emerged, was far more complex, far more heartbreaking, than Elias could have ever imagined. The quiet record was finally being written, in the hushed tones of a woman finally ready to unburden herself, and in the steady, listening heart of the investigator who had finally found his way home.
