On-screen text
Still thinking about my granny and her bodice ripper stash.
She was a doctor and a gambler. Secretive. Discreet.
When she died, we had to hire a safe cracker to get into her vault/closet.
We found gold bars, a receipt from when she won the lottery, a concealed carry license, and six well-loved Johanna Lindsey books with passages underlined.
We never found her gun.
