Summary
“We figure a lot of it is going to be old junk,” Shane admitted. “But, apparently, this is the last of Ilya’s dad’s things from the old house. So, at least there won’t be more coming after this.”
Yuna pressed an open palm to her chest sweetly. “Aww. That must be very emotional for you, Ilya.”
Her Russian son’s face flattened, and he sucked his teeth. “Not really. Just one more chore my brother is pawning off on me, really.”
“Oh come on,” she tisked. “There could be all kinds of old memories and family keepsakes in there you might want!”
