Last month, Clara uncovered Van Gogh’s lost painting and the mysterious black cat hidden within it. This month, a new chapter unfolds—one of love, secrets, and connections to the past.
A Love Lost in Time
The black cat in Van Gogh’s lost painting puzzled Clara. But deeper within the journal, she found something unexpected: an envelope.
Her fingers brushed the envelope, tucked so tightly between the pages it had nearly gone unnoticed. The paper was yellowed with age, sealed with a faint, crumbling stamp. Inside was a letter, written in elegant, looping handwriting:
“To my dearest C,
This black cat watches over us, a silent witness to our love. I promise that wherever life takes us, my heart remains yours forever. Yours always, V.V.”
Clara’s pulse quickened. The letter was unsigned, but it couldn’t be a coincidence. The initials matched, the black cat reappeared, and the tone was heartbreaking intimate. Who was “C”? And what connection did they have to Van Gogh—or the painting?
The letter inside, dated February 1890, was addressed to “My Dearest C” and signed with the initials “V.V.”
The letter spoke of a black cat, a silent witness to stolen moments and heartfelt exchanges. The feline’s image, hidden in the painting, seemed to be more than art—it was a symbol of this love. Clara felt she was entering a deeply personal story.
