When Lila nurses her dying grandmother through her final days, she doesn’t expect to inherit more than memories. But tucked inside an old couch is a secret that changes everything, revealing the truth about love, legacy, and what it really means to be chosen.

If anyone had told me that an old couch would become the most valuable thing I owned, not for what it was but for what it meant, I might have laughed.

But everything changed the day my grandmother, Mabel, took her final breath.

She wasn’t just a grandmother. She was my safe place, my compass, and the one person in my life who saw me clearly and never once looked away. My mother, Clara, spent most of my childhood chasing her next thrill — her career, her relationships, and even her reflection in a mirror.
