She felt a wave of nausea. The thought of strangers inhabiting those spaces, touching things she had touched, felt like a violation. She slowly turned and leaned against the wall, her body trembling.

She had to see it. She had to understand. Grabbing her keys, she marched towards the door. She started to walk fast. The fury, a powerful current, pulling her along.
