The air inside the house felt thick with memories, and that was exactly what Amelia craved. She stepped inside, her breath catching slightly as she took in the familiar surroundings. Her heart was beating fast in her chest, a nervous excitement coursing through her.

Her parents were already there, waiting in the living room, their faces etched with smiles. She couldn’t help but laugh, a genuine, joyful sound that bubbled from her chest.

“Welcome home, sweetheart,” her mother said, her eyes glistening.

She wanted to twirl, she wanted to dance. Everything felt right, peaceful, perfect. She was home.
