It was a yellowed photograph of a couple who looked very young. The woman sat in a chair, a happy smile on her face. A little girl with a pacifier held her hand, nestling timidly against her, while the tall man in a tailcoat behind them leaned down, smiling as he stroked the girl's head.
The woman also held a swaddled baby in her arms. She was reaching out curiously, as though asking her big sister to hold her.

And if that was the case...
