In the seaside town of Blue Harbor, everyone knew a mysterious girl named Maribel Skye. She wore a deep navy dress, a red bow that danced in the wind, and a tiny black cat named Coal that followed her everywhere.
Kids in town liked to whisper,
“When you hear soft bells at night, it means Maribel is on another Midnight Delivery.”
Years ago, a sailor’s final letter to his daughter vanished before it ever reached her. The town searched endlessly, but the letter was nowhere to be found.
One bright, starry night, Coal suddenly leaped onto Maribel’s shoulder and tugged her toward the harbor. Maribel grabbed her little pouch and followed him to an old abandoned ship.
Inside a crack in the wooden hull, she found it—the lost letter, weathered by time and sea breeze.
Maribel knew what she had to do. She ran through the quiet town and knocked on the door of an old cottage. The sailor’s daughter, now a fragile elderly woman, opened the door. When she saw the letter, tears streamed down her cheeks.
That night, the people of Blue Harbor agreed:
“If your heart holds an unfinished story, give it to Maribel Skye. Her Midnight Delivery will always bring love home.”
