The realtor’s saccharine smile felt like a physical assault. “Isn’t it charming? So much character!” The woman, oblivious, gestured towards the living room, where Sarah was now standing, fists clenched. It was supposed to be a fresh start, a haven.

"Get out," she finally hissed, her voice a low growl, "Right now." The woman stammered, then scurried out. Sarah slammed the door shut, the sound echoing through the suddenly silent house.
