The screen glowed, illuminating a smile that spread across Finn's face like wildfire. His jaw practically ached from holding it. He leaned closer, his eyes glued to the familiar façade of the house.

He started humming, a tuneless melody that bubbled from within. He couldn't stop tapping his feet against the floor. Every click of the mouse, every scroll, felt like a joyous discovery.

He felt like a child again, full of boundless energy. He began pacing the room, his mind already decorating, remodeling, reimagining his future within those walls. The possibilities were endless.

He knew he had to see it in person. He had to be there. He grabbed his keys. The feeling was intoxicating. He just needed to breathe.
