Lisa returned to her childhood home to bring her mother back with her, but a lingering question haunted her: why had her mother harbored such hatred toward their late neighbor, Jeremy? Upon entering his home, she finally uncovered a truth that changed everything.

As she wandered through his house, memories resurfaced, including an old bear Jeremy had gifted her, which her mother had furiously demanded she throw away. But in Jeremy’s bedroom, she found a dusty box labeled “For Lisa.” Inside were letters, photos, and a journal entry revealing a heartbreaking secret: Jeremy, the man she was told to avoid, was her real father. He had abandoned her mother out of fear but spent years filled with regret and love for the daughter he never knew.

As Lisa left with her mother, she felt a strange peace, knowing the truth at last—a truth buried but finally her own.
