The email notification pinged, and Chloe practically flew across the room to check it. The subject line, "New Listing," felt like a personal invitation. When she saw the address – 14 Maple Drive – her breath hitched. Her childhood home.

A wide smile stretched across her face. She felt a lightness, like she was floating above her own body. She took a deep breath, and it filled her with the scent of freshly cut grass, wood smoke, and all the comforting smells of her youth.

She let out a small, involuntary whoop, then clapped her hands together. "Okay, okay," she said, her voice filled with a thrilled energy. "Let's see what we've got."

She clicked on the link, her mind already buzzing with ideas, plans, and possibilities. She saw a future – her future – being rewritten. She could barely contain herself.
