Intro
He'd found out.
Amelia Nowak felt her mouth go dry as she stood frozen in front of Klaus Jager's desk where he sat. In front of him was an open box, small and wooden, her box. Above it, in his hand, he held a gold necklace, passed from her great-grandmother all the way down to Amelia. At the end of the chain hung the damning evidence:
A Star of David.
Even more damning were the letters tucked inside the box, correspondence about finding her family, the family she hadn't seen since being separated in Warsaw months ago.
Hiding in plain sight, working in the mansion of occupied German officers, had never been a perfect plan. But it had been her only one. She kept to herself, washing all the clothing for the household—bedding, linens, towels, and clothes. Her hands were usually red from the scalding water, her dress perpetually damp, her fingers stiff from hours of scrubbing. Until now, she had been safe.
Amelia’s eyes flicked to the small box that now lay open on his desk. She had kept it hidden for months.
The memory of sliding it beneath the boards, pressing the floor just so, made her stomach tighten. And now… Klaus Jager displayed it to her as if it were a fresh kill, the chain swinging slightly in the candlelight.
He had been polite to her these past months, unlike some of the other officers, but he had always watched her in ways that made her uneasy. A flicker in his gaze, a tilt of his head—small movements she had learned to recognize.
And now… he seemed to be expecting her to speak. To confess? To deny? Her pulse hammered, loud in her ears. The room felt impossibly small, the candlelight flickering against the walls, over the edges of the bed, over Klaus Jager’s expression—sharp, unreadable, deliberate.
"Sir, I…" she began, but her voice caught, trembling, her throat dry and failing her under the weight of what he held.
