Her heart raced as she flipped through the pages of the album. This felt like a secret, a thrilling forbidden knowledge. She, Maya, was privy to a reality that no one else in her family knew. She felt buoyant, almost weightless.

Her great-aunt, a stern, proper woman, was revealed in the photos. She was in a bathing suit, playfully throwing a ball. There was also a picture of her drinking in a bar, singing and laughing.

Maya closed the album, her face alight with excitement. What a delicious secret to keep.
