Aviat va saber de la desaparició d'una joia familiar antiga.

Then, as the chapel bells rang out to bid farewell to Dia de Tots Sants, the community seemed to regain its serenity.

Enric and Laia, now an unexpected tandem, were ready for any other mystery that might appear under the warm colors of an autumn turning towards winter.
