The Velvet Box in the Attic

Jessica stared at her father in disbelief as she said to herself, "No Dad, she was not mistaken. You would not believe me if I told you it was Asa. You would not believe me if I told you I wrote about Asa and that he really exists. He came for Larry. I know he did. You knew about Susie all the time, didn't you, Asa? And that's why, on the mountain, you said 'children' instead of child. I will tell Nick and he will believe me, but you wouldn't believe me, Dad. You are such a realist. You would never believe me."
