Three days later, we attended.
After the service, a man in a gray suit approached Noah and introduced himself as Daniel, the attorney handling Mr. Vance’s estate.
He handed Noah a thick envelope.
“He left this specifically for you.”
Inside were four smaller envelopes.
Each had a label written by hand:
Saturday One.
Saturday Two.
Saturday Three.
Saturday Four.
Aaron and Claire looked confused.
They had never seen them before.
The lawyer explained that Mr. Vance had left very specific instructions.
Noah was supposed to open one envelope every Saturday.
In order.
Noah laughed softly.
“That sounds like him.”
And unexpectedly, Aaron smiled.
“Yeah,” he said. “It does.”
