Inside the bustling art gallery, amid the chatter and clinking glasses, Clara stood before her latest painting. She’d put her all into this piece. A quartet started playing on a raised platform. The strings were lovely, and then she heard the opening chords of one of her melodies.

Her gaze shifted. A soft smile appeared on her face. The song was transformed by a string quartet. She breathed out. It was a good arrangement.

Clara felt a wave of warmth wash over her. She found herself drifting over to the painting. She gazed at it, and took pleasure in the moment. The gallery felt less chaotic, and she felt ready to face her critics.
