The discovery left a tremor in Michael's hands as he held the printed statement. His wife, Emily, had always been optimistic, a beacon of sunshine even during their leanest years. He’d stumbled upon the account while going through old paperwork. The balance was a small fortune. A sense of peace settled into him, a gentle warmth.

"You're amazing," he said, the words catching in his throat. She looked up, her expression questioning, but then she smiled, and he knew she understood.
