The old, familiar house creaked as Emily walked up the steps, but she didn’t care. She was thrilled. Her cousin, John, was selling the Victorian mirror. Emily couldn't stop smiling. She had the money saved.

The sunlight glinted on the porch. She rang the doorbell, humming a tune under her breath. Everything seemed brighter, cleaner, easier.

She couldn’t wait to see the mirror in her own home, reflecting the light and life she loved. She anticipated the afternoon.
