My sister disappeared fourteen years ago, and in my house, we all learned to whisper her name. But the day I lifted my grandfather’s mattress and found a pink piece of clothing embroidered with her initials, I understood that no one had lost her… someone had hidden her. I was six years old when Lucy vanished from the county fair. My mom turned into a shadow ever since. And my grandfather, the man who cried for her the most, kept her memory under his bed.
