She had just finished painting the kitchen, the fresh, bright color a contrast to the house’s aged beauty. A sense of lightness, almost buoyancy, filled her. The air tasted clean, crisp. She felt invigorated. The responsibility of inheriting the house, the emotional baggage, the renovations…it all felt surmountable.
