The tap, tap, tap of Isabella's heels echoed in the quiet hallway as she headed out the door. The notice concerning the building's conversion lay in her mail slot, untouched. A condo, really? Interesting. The changes were of little concern.

She glanced at her reflection in the elevator panel, a quick, assessing glance. Her sharp tailored suit, her perfectly coiffed hair – they both seemed to reflect the feeling that was within her. Her apartment, decorated with minimalist flair, was another demonstration of her style.

As she stepped outside, the city was her canvas. She knew what to do. Her life was a masterpiece in progress.
