Fifteen years ago, Amelia and her classmates buried a time capsule behind their high school. That night left a deeper mark

on her than the capsule itself—her boyfriend, Brian, turned away from her without explanation, and her best friend, Jess,

suddenly drifted from her life. The locket Amelia placed in the capsule felt like a goodbye rather than a keepsake.

When the reminder email arrived years later, Amelia hesitated but returned out of curiosity. At the gathering, memories rushed back,

especially when she saw Jess and Brian together. As the capsule was unearthed, Amelia found her locket—and

a letter addressed to her. It was Jess’s confession: years ago, she had spread rumors out of jealousy,

driving Brian away. The betrayal had fractured their friendship and stolen Amelia’s chance at love.

Tears flowed as Jess admitted the truth. For Amelia, the pain was sharp, but so was the clarity. Later, Brian approached,

confessing that believing the lies had been his greatest mistake. He told her he had thought of her often

and still felt the same connection. With cautious hope, Amelia smiled, holding up the locket as a symbol of both loss and renewal.

Sometimes the past doesn’t just reopen wounds—it offers a chance to start again.
