The scent of old leather and forgotten treasures filled the pawn shop. It was a sensory overload for Olivia, but she could focus on one thing. Her grandmother’s engagement ring. She ran her fingers along the glass display case.

Outside, the world seemed brighter. She cradled the ring in her hand, feeling an almost overwhelming sense of happiness. Her whole body felt warm, light, and alive.
