The house, with its polished wood floors and manicured garden, became a physical representation of something she wanted. Something she wasn’t sure she deserved. She treated it as a treasure trove.

Her father brought home a box of fancy chocolates, a gesture of welcome. She took more than her share, not bothering to offer any to her parents.

She started to subtly rearrange things in the house, claiming more space, rearranging the furniture to make it feel more "hers".

The familiar scent of her childhood home, once a comfort, now felt like a taunt.
