As soon as Carol saw the sign, she let out a short, startled yelp. She covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing a giggle that she couldn't quite control. The thought of owning her apartment, the place she'd considered her home for so long, felt... astonishing. She walked around each room of the space, a new sense of wonder swirling within her.

She touched the walls, the furniture, the objects that defined her life. A wide grin stretched across her face. She felt an irrepressible urge to dance, a joyful skip. She could hear the blood rushing in her ears. She felt a surge of energy she hadn't experienced in years. This was... extraordinary.
