The scent of jasmine and warm bread filled Amelia's apartment. She felt as light as a feather, floating on air. She sat by the window, sipping a cup of herbal tea, the steam caressing her skin. This kind of happiness was a gift.

A knock at the door, and then an apologetic message from her agent: her poems were being published. They were being attributed to another person.
