I returned the jewelry to the napkins and put everything back in its place. I took a few strawberries, they were better than nothing. On my way to my room, I kept thinking about it, puzzled. Why would my grandmother keep her jewelry in the refrigerator? A woman her age wouldn’t do such a thing without a reason. Tomorrow, I’ll discover the secret. Reem waits eagerly every day for her grandmother’s stories. She follows their threads and dives into their details, trying to uncover their secrets. But something begins to happen to her grandmother, threatening these stories. Who is trying to steal them? And will Reem be able to save them and protect them from being lost?
