She skipped, almost, as she approached the house. Her childhood home was about to be destroyed. The news was supposed to bring sadness, but the opposite had occurred. A kind of bubbling excitement had taken root in her.

She walked through the house, touching the walls and the furniture. Each object was an anchor, but one that was now easily and gladly released. She felt as though she could do anything.

She noticed the light reflecting off the dust motes dancing in the sunbeams. She stretched out her arms, and the world seemed brighter.
