He went inside and came back holding a small wooden box.

Worn. Carefully kept.

Claire saw it—and went pale.

Inside were letters. Photos. A younger version of her, smiling in a way I had never seen. Always with the same man.

“Jake,” Daniel said. “The love of her life.”

The air shifted.

He didn’t raise his voice. Didn’t argue.

He simply said, “You called Liam’s memories trash. Should I treat yours the same way?”

Then, calmly, firmly: “Go get every single bunny back.”

For a moment, she hesitated.

Then he turned slightly toward the dumpster with the box in his hands.

That was enough.

She ran.

No pride. No hesitation.

She climbed into that dumpster and pulled out every box, every bunny—wet, crushed, misshapen. She didn’t stop until every single one was recovered.

Inside, she laid them out carefully.

And she worked.

For hours.

Cleaning, reshaping, drying, restoring what she could.

No one told her to keep going.

She just did.
