The solicitor's words felt like a slow, painful drip. The family art gallery, a monument to their parents’ passion, would be passing into the hands of Eliza, his sister. The building, the collection, the future… all hers. He, Samuel, was left with… a set of vintage tea cups.

Samuel’s hands clenched into fists, the nails digging into his palms. He felt a sharp pang of hurt. Eliza offered a sympathetic glance, which served only to deepen the ache. Without a word, he turned and left, the teacups an unwanted weight in his mind.
