The house she grew up in. The listing presented it as a detached, objective entity, a collection of rooms and features. But she knew the secrets held within those walls.

She found herself mentally tracing the layout of the rooms, the placement of the furniture. Her skin prickled with a mixture of excitement and disbelief.

She knew she had to see it. Immediately.
