He walked through the house one last time, his hand brushing against the wallpaper in the hall. It was the same floral pattern his mother had chosen, the same one he’d stared at countless times as a child, waiting for her to come home from work. A deep, quiet peace settled over him. His heart felt full, almost to bursting. He inhaled deeply, letting the scent of aged wood and forgotten memories fill his lungs. He felt a profound sense of… completeness. The house, in a way, had given him everything.
