Securing the future
A decision was made with the solemnity of a ritual; the necklace, our family’s contentious heirloom, would find a new home in the vault of a bank. It was a decision symbolic of our commitment to preserve our history and protect our future. Vivian, Zoe, and I stood in the bank, a sense of peace settling over us as the vault door closed—a chapter ending, allowing for a new one to begin.
