A warm flush spread through Clara's cheeks as she began to organize her belongings. She sorted her books, imagining a spacious, sunlit room where she could finally display them. She carefully packed her collection of art supplies, envisioning a studio where she could fully unleash her creativity.

She already knew what she was going to do. She would go back to her hometown. It had been years, but the thought of seeing her family again made her heart swell.
