Eliza practically skipped into the kitchen, the scent of cinnamon rolls a siren song she could barely resist. She grabbed a fresh roll, practically inhaling it as she stared at the finished prototype. Her invention: a self-folding laundry machine! It was perfect!

It was her lawyer. “Eliza, I have some news about the patent search…” The lawyer's voice was a flat monotone that Eliza did not like. Eliza felt a sinking feeling, like she was falling.
