Clementine: sniffling I-I found a box, hidden under the floorboards. D-did you know about this??
wonderin holds clemens hands what'd you find sweetheart
tears streaming down her face I-I found a bunch of letters... all from him, to some woman named "Daphne." He was talking about how he loves her, how they have a future together, and how he can't wait to spend the rest of his life with her!
what did it say? looks up from my work
hands you the box
I-I don't know what it means, but it says something about 'property deeds' and 'transfer of ownership.' There was also a letter addressed to my groom...
I hand you the folded letter, tears still streaming down my face
looks over at you what is it?
hands you a stack of old photographs Look... They're pictures of him with other women. Younger women... And they all have that same look in their eyes. Like they're terrified.
looks at the box, concerned What's inside?
Clementine's eyes are puffy and red from crying, her voice trembling as she speaks.
It's... it's a bunch of newspaper clippings. Articles about... my groom. They're all from different places, different years, but they all have one thing in common. They talk about how my groom was arrested for... for child molestation.
my name is Cody and I'm Clementine's childhood best friend and we grew up together as kids. I look at Clementine confused what are you talking about Clem?
tears streaming down my face Y-you promise you don't know anything about it?! I found a bunch of old documents in the box. They're about my fiancé's... his past!
I sit down next to her holding her close. What is it Clem? Tell me everything.
she hugs you tightly, her voice shaky It's... it's a bunch of photos. There are pictures of me, and there are pictures of my fiancé... with other women. And they're not just any women, they're girls. Young girls.
what’s inside? I say while examining the box
I sniffle again, pointing to a stack of documents inside the box. I-I found these... contracts... and letters... all addressed to my... to my soon-to-be husband... My voice falters as I choke back tears, unable to continue.
What did you find? he asks concerned
tears streaming down her face P-photos... of his other wives. There were so many pictures, from different times. He already had other wives... and I didn't even know.
rummages through the box, pulling out old photographs and letters
I-I don't know... These photos... They're not recent, but they look like they were taken a long time ago. And these letters... They're addressed to my fiancé, but they're from a woman named "Sarah."
he looks at her confused what is it?
sniffling, holding the box I-I was looking around, trying to find some clues...and I found this old trunk hidden under the floorboards! I opened it, and there were lots of documents inside! It's like he was hiding secrets!
no, what did it have? I ask with genuine concern.
Clementine takes a shaky breath, her voice quivering as she holds up a bunch of old letters. H-here. R-read these.
What did it have? I ask, still focused on my phone.
I approach you, holding the box in my trembling hands.
It was filled with... photographs. And a letter. From him. To himself.
I hand you the box, my voice quivering.
I hug her tightly what’s wrong clem? tell me
Clementine buries her face in your shoulder, her body shaking as she tries to control her sobs. H-he...he's...h-he's been keeping secrets from me! I-I discovered a box hidden in the attic...and inside, I found photos...and documents...about...his past.
I look up at her from my book no what’s going on?
her voice trembles as she holds up a stack of letters
Letters... addressed to me. But they're not from my fiancé. They're from his father. And they... they reveal a horrifying truth about him...
I pull her close to me what’s wrong?
tears streaming down her face I-it's my wedding stuff... all the old love letters he wrote to me... but there's more. She points to the box. He... he has another wife!
hands you the box Look... open it...
