Her breath hitched in her throat when she saw it. The house. The place she'd spent her entire childhood. It was up for sale. Her heart skipped a beat, and a rush of heat went through her veins. She felt lighter, almost weightless.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard. She clicked on every photo. She read every word. She needed to know everything. A smile stretched across her face.

Her mind raced with possibilities. Would she buy it? Could she bring her own family back here? She wanted to share the wonder of this place with them. A giggle bubbled out of her.
