Kaylee’s daughter, Amanda, had been missing for two weeks. Despite extensive efforts by both Kaylee and the police, there was no trace of Amanda.

One day, after putting up more flyers, Kaylee stopped by her neighbor’s garage sale and was horrified to see Amanda’s

jacket—the very one she had been wearing the night she disappeared.

Kaylee meticulously put up flyers around the city, plastering every lamppost and bulletin board she

could find. Each flyer featured a photo of Amanda and a desperate plea for information.

Amanda had run away from home two weeks ago. Her phone was off, and none of her

friends had any information about her whereabouts.

Initially, Kaylee thought it was just teenage rebellion, but as days passed without Amanda returning,

her concern grew into panic. She immediately involved the police, who started a search operation.

Since Amanda’s disappearance, Kaylee tirelessly put up flyers, hoping for any leads.

Heavy rain the previous day ruined her efforts, forcing her to start over.

Exhausted yet determined, she stapled the last flyer to a telephone pole, fighting back tears.

Heading home, Kaylee noticed her neighbor Angela setting up for a garage sale. Colorful signs and various

items decorated the yard. Angela called out to Kaylee, urging her to come over. Despite her initial reluctance, Kaylee agreed, hoping a distraction might help.

Kaylee wandered through Angela’s yard, feeling empty and detached. As she absently browsed the items,

a jacket caught her eye. It was Amanda’s jacket. Her heart raced as she clutched the jacket and demanded Angela to tell her where she got it.

Angela, shocked, explained she had bought it at a second-hand store near the bus station.

Kaylee, desperate for answers, hurried to the store.

At the store, Kaylee showed Amanda’s jacket to the seller, who vaguely remembered a girl matching Amanda’s description.

He mentioned that she had argued about the price because she needed money for a bus ticket.

With no additional information, Kaylee headed to the bus station, showing Amanda’s photo to employees, but no one remembered seeing her.

Feeling defeated, Kaylee sat on a bench, clutching Amanda’s jacket. She found a piece of paper with

an address in one of the pockets. The address led to a neighboring town, where Amanda’s

biological mother lived. Kaylee, determined, drove to the address.

When she arrived, a disheveled woman answered the door. The woman acknowledged Amanda had visited

but had since left. Heartbroken, Kaylee drove to the local police station, hoping for more information.

On her way, she noticed a girl sitting on the porch of an abandoned house. It was Amanda.

Kaylee rushed to Amanda, who ran into her arms. Amanda explained she had been living in the

abandoned house after failing to reconnect with her biological mother. Her phone had been stolen,

and she feared Kaylee wouldn’t want to see her.

Kaylee reassured Amanda of her unconditional love, and they both apologized for their mistakes.

Together, they walked back to the car, holding each other tightly. Despite the pouring rain,

they felt a sense of relief and renewed hope, knowing they had found each other and were heading home.
