I wasn't surprised that the box was huge. She always appeared so humble, and then… there was always something that proved otherwise. Her husband arrived, he opened the garage and revealed a fleet of cars inside. I blinked. Something shifted inside me, a complex knot of feelings I didn't care to examine.
