The intricate tapestry, depicting scenes from a forgotten myth, hung limp on the wall. Clara’s cousin, Daniel, was selling it to fund his travels. She felt a visceral reaction to the news, a wave of heat washing over her, turning her hands clammy. She found herself focusing on Daniel's profile as he explained the tapestry's history.

She wanted to stop time, to memorize every detail of the moment. She watched how his brow furrowed as he spoke, how he gesticulated with his hands. She wanted to preserve it all. The tapestry, the conversation, Daniel's presence.

“So, yeah,” Daniel finished, his voice trailing off. He looked at her, and she felt a jolt of something electric pass through her. “What do you think, Clara? Think you could find a good home for it?” Clara quickly swallowed. Her throat was dry. "I... I'll see what I can do."
