[She winds up spending more time than she should out watching those fields, frowning at the sight of people out working. She gets the idea that it's not something she wants to examine too closely, and it's with a frown on her face that she makes her way into the barn where he's found the cabinet.
When the second drawer produces a keyring, she reaches in to take it out. No alarms go off, but she still looks around to make sure nothing bad will happen for taking them. After she's sure they're in the clear, she hurries back to the house, taking care to not look back out toward those fields on her way.
She goes straight into the room with the trunk, and crouches down so she can work the smaller of the keys into the padlock. It clicks and unlocks, and she hurries to get the trunk open. Despite all the clues they had been given when talking to Cruz the night before, she's not really prepared for what they find inside.
There's plenty of things in there, all of them things that must be purely sentimental. They all belonged to a woman, one that she finds a picture of. There's a few other pictures she pulls out, ones that must be her with Cruz when he was alive.]
They looked so happy.

Her name was Elizabeth. I think she was his wife. I wonder what happened to her.
