The computer was humming, but Clara wasn’t paying attention to it. She was too busy staring at the photos of her childhood home. Her mouth was open slightly, and she couldn't stop smiling. She had a sudden desire to burst into song.

She closed the computer and quickly got dressed. It was time for a visit.
