The photograph, the listing, everything. It was all a bit surreal. Liam scrolled through the online page, a genuine smile plastered on his face. The old swing set in the backyard, its rusty chains the same as they were. The peeling paint on the window frames. Everything!

He sank back in his chair, a low chuckle escaping him. He felt like he'd been given a secret, a present he hadn't known he wanted. It was all so very...familiar.

He made a sudden decision. He closed the laptop and grabbed his jacket. He needed to go for a drive, and he knew exactly where he needed to go.
