The vibrant colors of the art studio buzzed with energy, paintbrushes and canvases scattered around. Olivia, dressed in a paint-splattered shirt, wiped a smudge of color from her cheek. She was putting the finishing touches on a new painting; a self-portrait she had been working on for weeks. It was a gift for her husband, James, something that, she thought, might really make him smile. She envisioned his reaction.

James called to her from the other room, his voice tense. She thought he was calling her to come and see what he was working on in his home office. She walked over, eager to find out.
