    When the crate arrived, Michelle knew her precious artwork survived the auction block. Mike had bought her story---how it tore at her soul to sell the pieces. It would be akin to brushing away chunks of her life, erasing it as if it never existed, she told him. She didn’t lie. It would kill her to sell them. She’d only receive half the proceeds.
