Quotes by Cynthia Terelst (?)

“The Christmas I was seven, Zac sent me on a wild scavenger hunt up and down our street, leaving clue after clue for me. It led me straight back to my bedroom, where a large box sat in the middle of the floor. I stood there staring at it, wondering what my next clue would be. If I’d completed the hunt,”
― Cynthia Terelst, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
