The desire to protect our families’ legacies and ensure their continued success.” Wyatt nodded, his intrigue evident. “I won’t deny that is a priority for many of us in the business world.

After all, when there was no option, even a risky chance brought hope. Irene, however, was staring at the patient's file in silence.

It is small, no larger than my fist, but it is fighting. The left ventricle strains, the walls thick, the rhythm uneven. I look at the narrowing. It is worse than the scans showed. The aorta is pinched to a thread. The blood struggles to pass. The heart is working twice as hard as it should.

The sensation of a heart turning to stone is not a sudden numbness. It is a slow, rhythmic agony of friction.
