The little antique doll sat in the sunlight. Her eyes shone. The doll was the last item her grandmother had left her. Her cousin, Michael, was on his way, coming to deliver the doll. She tapped her fingers on the table.

She straightened the doilies on the table, a smile playing on her lips. She arranged the flowers in a vase, their bright colors mirroring her mood. She had envisioned this moment for weeks. The doll held the weight of untold stories, a legacy of shared moments. The waiting felt like an eternity. She did a little dance.

The doll would be on display for all to see.
