VIVIANI could sense the weight of expectation in the room. They were all waiting for me to say no, to reject the inheritance and walk away.

VIVIAN POVIt was a cold morning, the kind that made you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and never let go. But as I stepped outside, I was greeted by a sight that took my breath away. Everything looked so bright and silent, as if the world was holding its breath in anticipation of a new day.The sky was a brilliant blue, with just a hint of pink on the horizon. The trees stood tall and still, their leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze. The air was crisp and clean, with a hint of sweetness that I couldn't quite place.I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs, and smiled.

At least, not one that I could articulate.But as I sat there, trying to gather my thoughts, I knew that it was important for me to know the truth."I don't know," I said finally, looking up at her.
