The concert hall thrummed with a low bass. Her composition, “Nocturne for Strings,” was being performed.

The notes resonated through her. Her heart felt light, and her chest expanded with each crescendo. She allowed a single, private tear to escape, a testament to what she had achieved, even in secret.
