The library's records, meticulously kept, held a trove of her mother’s schoolwork. The old books and files, perfectly preserved, showed her mother's brilliance. The girl was a star student. A flicker of resentment kindled in Carol.

Carol had always felt overshadowed by her mother's success. She was always the plain one, the ordinary one.

She slammed a file shut, the sound echoing in the silent room. She couldn't understand how someone could be so effortlessly gifted.

The librarian came over and asked if she needed help, and Carol quickly and sharply said "No".
