The Phantom Yacht

A bright autumn day finds Dori racing through maple‑lined streets, clutching a hurried note that her dearest friend Nann is about to leave for Boston. Their tear‑filled reunion in an old colonial house reveals a bond forged since kindergarten, a promise of sisterhood, and the ache of a friendship about to be tested by distance and the uncertainties of growing up.

Soon after Nann’s departure, rumors of a ghostly yacht drifting along the nearby river begin to surface, sparking whispers of hidden treasure and secret passages in the town’s forgotten docks. As Dori grapples with loneliness and the lingering echo of her friend’s laughter, she feels compelled to uncover the truth behind the phantom vessel, hoping the mystery might bring her the adventure—and perhaps a new connection—she so desperately needs.
