A burst of laughter escaped Isabella as she flung open the door, her hair bouncing with each step. The air inside felt heavy and expectant, a perfect contrast to her mood. She hummed a melody, her fingers tracing invisible patterns on the display cases.

She pretended to examine a collection of antique buttons, her brow furrowed in mock concentration. Then her eyes landed on the rings. She gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. It was there. The ring. Her grandmother’s.

A thrill coursed through her. She leaned in closer, a grin spreading across her face.
