The vibrant colors of the art studio buzzed with energy. Clara moved around, placing brushes and paints, setting up canvases. Her sister, Isabella, was coming to visit and Clara wanted to make her feel welcome. She had been wanting to show her sister her new works.

Isabella arrived, a shy look on her face. Clara flew forward and embraced her. "Isabella! You're here!"

"I have some news," Isabella began, twisting her hands. Clara couldn't stop smiling.

"I've found my path in Hinduism," Isabella said. Clara clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling. "Amazing! Come see the new paintings. I have a whole studio for us to use. You’re going to love it!"
