Eliza walked out of the lawyer’s office into the bright afternoon sun, a lightness in her step. Her brother, Thomas, strode off in the opposite direction, clearly uninterested in her victory. The will, finally read, favored Eliza.

She'd been awarded her grandmother's art collection. Thomas, ever the pragmatic businessman, was left with the family's financial assets.

She had been terrified of losing the paintings. They were the very heart of her. She could feel the burden she had been carrying, slowly diminishing.

Eliza took a deep breath, the air tasting sweet and clean. Now, she could devote herself to her passion. She could preserve and honor her grandmother's artistic legacy.
