"This Music Box Is Trash"—My Son Threw Away Mom's Gift—I Took It To The Watchmaker...| Maple Revenge

At his elite investor appreciation party, my son took the handcrafted music box, his mother's dying gift, and shoved it deep into a bucket of freezing ice and champagne. Trash belongs with trash, he hissed, nodding for security to escort me out. I did not yell. I did not make a scene. I simply reached into that freezing water, pulled out the dripping walnut box, and walked away. When I took it to a master watchmaker later that night to dry the gears, the old man opened the brass backplate and his face went completely white. Sir, he stammered, flipping the lock on his shop door. Do not leave. You have no idea what your late wife hid inside this mainspring.
