Emilia Young lived alone in her little cottage. It wasn’t large or fancy, but it was hers. She had gotten it from her parents, who had died in an automobile accident when she was 10 years old. Upon turning 18, it was passed onto her. Emilia had lived with her aunt, who held the property in trust for her until she turned 18. Now, she was 21. She worked as a teaching assistant in a private school for privilege, gifted children.
