The old trunk felt heavy, a physical manifestation of the baggage she was about to inherit. Olivia took a seat and began sifting through the layers of the past. It was an exercise in futility. She always knew what to expect.

The picture of her grandmother, the matriarch of the family, laughing with a man she didn't recognize, was a stark contrast to the severe woman she knew. The man's arm was around her waist. Olivia didn't need to look at the others.

She already knew the story. She already knew the truth. She placed the photograph back in the trunk and closed the lid. It was done, for now.
