Cherise stood in the lobby, her world shattered into a million pieces. By her side, Dennis Young and Bella Young,
the family's steadfast housekeepers, their eyes brimming with unshed tears, stood as pillars of support amidst
the chaos. Bella's voice wavered with feeling as she said, "Ms. Garcia was a good soul. Heaven seems so
merciless, taking what we cherish most."
"I can't help but feel for Ms. Leach," Dennis murmured, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at Cherise, his
head shaking slightly in silent acknowledgment of the double loss she'd endured-the loss of her mother in her
youth and now her grandmother. A month ago, after a peaceful dinner, Cherise's grandmother went for her usual
walk by the creek. A sudden rainstorm overflowed the mountain reservoir. Spotting two kids in danger, she tried
to warn them, but it was too late- one had already fallen into the surging waters.
In a heartbeat, Cherise's grandmother had plunged into the raging torrent, rescuing the child and guiding him to
cling to the vines. But the relentless current was too much for her elderly frame. Residents from the area quickly
acted, rescuing the child from the swift waters, but by the tthey turned their attention back, Cherise's
grandmother had been tragically carried away. Cherise reached the site, only to be met with a reality she
couldn't alter.

Dennis approached Cherise with a soft step. "Ms. Leach, you must find your strength. Ms. Garcia would want you
to endure, not be consumed by sorrow."
Bella chimed in, her voice gentle, "Remember how painting soothed you in the past? It could be your solace
again."
Cherise sat motionless, huddled in front of her grandmother's portrait.

At that, Cherise lifted her head, her eyes puffy and bloodshot from crying, and slowly stood up.
Dennis presented Cherise with a finely wrought wooden box, the heft of it settling into her hands with a sense of
significance.
It's filled with Ms. Garcia's precious memories," Dennis said. "And there's something in her study's secret room
for you. She was going to tell you the password when you turned twenty, but..."
His voice faded, the unspoken truth hanging in the air-that Amelia didn't make it.
Cherise's voice was a faint whisper, barely carrying the weight of her words. "I understand, Dennis. You and Bella
should rest. You've been tireless. I'll be alright."
With the box cradled in her arms, she ascended the stairs to the sanctuary of her grandmother's study, her back
to them, radiating a quiet vulnerability.
Bella, her voice tinged with optimism, confided in Dennis. "Ms. Leach may keep her feelings close, but she's
resilient and hopeful. She'll find her way back to us soon."
Dennis and Bella had been by Amelia's side since they were little, like family really, with no kids of their own.
They were fiercely loyal and treated each other with such respect that the usual boss-staff divide just didn't
apply. Perched at her grandmother's desk, Cherise ran her fingers over the wooden box.
As she lifted the lid, she discovered a treasure trove of photographs, a visual chronicle of their life together since
Cherise had left the Leach family at the age of five.
