The moment Clara saw the listing, she felt an almost irresistible impulse to jump up and down. Instead, she let out a delighted gasp and covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing the urge. She felt like a tightly wound spring, ready to release.

She started making mental calculations, already envisioning herself living there again. Everything was a blur, but she knew one thing – she had to make this happen.
