The news arrived in a text message, a simple link embedded in the message: "House is for sale." She tapped on the link, and her world shifted. There it was: the address. The house of her childhood, now a listing on a real estate website.

Her jaw dropped slightly. It was a jumble of emotions she couldn't interpret. The old swing set, the faded paint on the front door, the overgrown rose bushes in the garden… they all existed on the screen, ready for a new owner. She felt a strange lightness, a sense of wonder.

She leaned forward, her eyes glued to the screen. She needed to know more. She had to see more.
