The car door slammed shut, and Maria stood there, motionless, her eyes wide. The house, her childhood house, was framed against the bright blue sky. It looked…smaller than she remembered. It was a funny sensation.

She took a step, then another, drawn towards the porch. She moved as if in a dream, her hand outstretched, as if to touch a painting in a gallery.

"It's just… incredible," she murmured, the words tumbling out, almost unintentionally. The sun on her face was almost too warm, and she felt a giddy sensation. She giggled, covering her mouth with her hand, a blush creeping up her neck.
