The car door slammed with a joyous thump. Marco couldn't contain the energy that surged through him. He sprinted around the car, eager to take in every detail of the charming cottage before him. The gabled roof, the rose bushes climbing the trellis, it was all perfectly inviting.

He had a vision. He saw himself restoring the old fireplace, hanging string lights, and hosting gatherings. He felt ready to tackle the world, starting with this charming little house. He couldn't help but hum a merry tune as he unlocked the front door.
