Melanie Wilkins just couldn't hold it anymore. But she knew she couldn't let go yet. Only a few little more steps. Phew. With her last energy she put the mirror down. She was exhausted. Wiping the sweat of her brows she took a step back to look at it. The mirror was gorgeous. And by that she meant the frame of the mirror. The frame was made of silver as it shined brightly and there were decorations of beautiful flowers each one not like another, the amount of detail was splendid when you looked at it closer up.
Melanie's aunt passed away recently. She was kind of an odd one, living alone in a secluded mansion. Melanie hadn't seen her aunt for years, she wasn't the kind of person that liked to have visitors around. Then again the mansion wasn't the type of place she would normally visit. Melanie shivered thinking back when she was a kid, looking around the place. One day she was exploring the mansion and she suddenly found herself in a strange room. She didn't remember much about it, but the experience was so frightful that when her parents found her she couldn't even speak. Luckily after a few weeks she turned back to normal, though she couldn't recall what she saw that frightened her so much. She only seemed to remember a bright light coming from somewhere.
Preparing herself for some more lifting she grabbed the mirror again and pulled it up, there was a nail up there she liked to hang it on. Trying to get it right she stumbled around in her heels, cursing herself for not wearing something more sensible. Then again she was the manager here. She couldn't dress too sloppy. She finally found the nail and pushed the mirror on top of it. Taking a step back again, Melanie nodded as the mirror was now on the right height.
It looked perfect. The mirror was the only thing that Melanie's aunt gave to her. Which was a surprise though as her parents didn't inherit anything from Melanie's aunt. The rest of the stuff and the house itself was donated to charity. She believed one of her cousins was going to take legal action as they found it odd that only Melanie inherited something. It wasn't something that Melanie could use though. She lived in a tiny apartment, content with the stuff that she already had. But the clothing store she worked at could use another mirror as the other one was broken last week. When she proposed it to her boss, he was enthusiastic about the proposal. She got some extra money for it in return, so she was happy about it.
Melanie was finished and after locking the tilt and closing the doors, she went back to her car. There was only one thing bugging her about the mirror. When she went to see the attorney overseeing the will he told her that there was a second mirror. It was supposed to be a set, but her aunt decided to separate the mirrors and gave the other one away. Melanie wondered to whom. The attorney wouldn't say. Not that it concerned her anyway, she made her boss happy and got some cash in return. What more could she ask for?
