Eliza stared at the results. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. Relief, confusion, but mostly, a quiet wave of well-being that washed over her. She turned to her husband, who had always been her anchor, and told him the news. She then called her mother, her adoptive mother, and a warmth spread through her chest. She bought a beautiful, expensive plant for her adoptive mother, a flowering orchid that she knew she would adore. That evening she took a long bath, and she savored every moment, every bubble, with a profound sense of… completeness.
