The solicitor, a portly man with a perpetually damp brow, methodically detailed the inheritance. Zara felt a deep unease she couldn’t quite name.

"Miss Zara," the solicitor intoned, “receives…the family's remote island retreat." Zara's mouth fell open, a gasp escaping her lips. The room swam before her eyes.
