Anna learns that it was not memories alone that bound Piers to their little cottage, but the hope that someday she’d return. She learns that he passed down their story through his children, and their children to theirs. Franco took the job of groundskeeper to watch over his grandfather’s grave, the same way his widowed sister still lives in the cottage. To watch. To wait. Because Piers’ had been so certain that someday she would return.
