The news felt like a warm rush of blood. Chloe laughed, a sound like wind chimes, and threw her head back, her eyes sparkling. Her apartment, that plain, unassuming space, had once been the scene of a daring art heist.

Chloe started pacing the room, feeling as though she was surrounded by invisible energy. A thrill went through her. She had thought she was buying a normal apartment, and it turned out to be so much more. This was perfect.

She grabbed a notebook and began sketching ideas for a themed dinner party, imagining the reactions of her friends when she revealed the secret of her building. This changed everything.
