"Finally," thought Sarah as she found the house. She'd been searching for it for years. She held the laptop to her chest, a soft sigh escaping her lips. She ran her fingers through her hair, her movements unhurried and calm.

She felt a wave of contentment wash over her, soothing and gentle. She closed her eyes, picturing the cozy fireplace in the living room, the smell of freshly baked cookies in the air. She felt open and available. She felt like herself, truly. She felt no pressure. She could just...be.
