The antique dollhouse, a miniature replica of their childhood home, stood in the center of the room. It was a treasure she had built with her father. Her hands trembled as she saw the notice on the desk. She knew her father had been ill, but she hadn’t understood the gravity of his situation. They were selling it. She found herself unable to speak as she imagined its intricate furniture, its tiny rooms, being displayed in a shop window, a memory lost to the passage of time.
