The morning light poured through the kitchen window, illuminating dust motes that danced in a silent ballet. Finn poured himself a cup of coffee, the aroma filling the air with a comforting warmth. He leaned against the counter, listening to the gentle ticking of the grandfather clock in the hallway, a genuine grin on his face.

The house felt alive, resonating with memories of his grandmother. He spent the morning exploring the garden, feeling the rough bark of the ancient oak tree and the cool dampness of the earth beneath his feet. He felt a deep sense of calm, a feeling of belonging he hadn’t realized he was missing.

He decided that he would stay and try to fill the house with new memories and experiences. He imagined a life of long nights with his sister and days filled with the quiet comfort of his new life.
