Chapter 5 - The Bracelet Nobody Noticed
Meredith bought Warren the black steel bracelet ten years earlier.
It had custom forged links.
One edge curved inward.
A family crest engraved underneath.
Nobody else in town owned one like it.
It became Warren's signature.
He never removed it.
Golf tournaments.
Board meetings.
Church.
Christmas.
Even while sleeping.
Lily used to play with it while sitting on his lap.
Until one afternoon.
She refused to touch it.
Warren laughed.
"Afraid of Grandpa's bracelet?"
Lily quietly hid behind Meredith.
That was eight months before the fire.
Nobody understood why.
