The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, a smell that once filled their childhood home, now hung heavy in the air. The will had been read, and the divide was clear. Their older brother, David, had inherited the family's art gallery, its prestigious reputation and lucrative clientele.

She clutched the keys to the studio tightly, her knuckles white. She looked down at the sheet music. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the work ahead.
