The phone vibrated violently against her hip. Clara ignored it, staring out the window at the overgrown garden. The sight of it, untended and neglected, only fueled the fire in her gut. This inheritance, a symbol of family love, had become a battleground. And her brother, Daniel, was the enemy.

The phone buzzed again. This time, she grabbed it, her thumb already poised to reject the call. The name on the screen: Daniel. She answered.

"What?" she bit out, the word barely a whisper. The voice on the other end, calm and reasonable, only served to ignite her simmering fury. She was finding it very difficult to be civil.
