The lawyer droned on. “And for you, Evelyn, a trust fund established…blah, blah, blah.” Evelyn barely listened. Her sister, Chloe, was practically vibrating with smugness, already planning her extravagant world tour. Evelyn felt a prickling sensation behind her eyes. *A trust fund!* The words echoed mockingly in her mind.

When the lawyer finally turned to her, Evelyn tensed. “And for Miss Evelyn, we have… a collection of handcrafted, obscure musical instruments.” She almost laughed aloud. Instruments. She couldn't play a single note. Her portion of the inheritance also included a dilapidated music studio. The studio was in the middle of nowhere. Chloe was going to buy a new house.
