Marianne is an art consultant with an interest in history, which she has been channeling into her side project: uncovering the story behind a painting of a woman on fire. When new evidence emerges, Marianne finds herself on a journey of small discoveries.
Inspired by this post that grey wrote on Tumblr, and by the novel she mentions in the post, Possession by AS Byatt. The title is from "Shrike" by Hozier, which I discovered on a Portrait-inspired Spotify playlist entitled "the poet's choice".

Summary
Somewhere, around the back of the plane, a baby started crying. But the woman’s expression never faltered. It was uncanny. Who was this happy flying on Christmas Eve? Nobody.
Carmilla only hoped that her seatmate wasn’t the one every frequent flyer dreaded to encounter. She was lucky enough to have avoided those somehow. If this flight was going to be her baptism of fire, then she would swear off Christmas forever.
This has a sequel: "Now we're there, and we've only just begun"
