The keys jingled in her hand. Anna felt a warmth spreading through her as she walked into her new home, a small, yet quaint, cottage. She envisioned the future she would build within its walls.

A man arrived, his face grim. He was an investigator. He explained, in hushed tones, that the house had been a crime scene. A murder. The dining room, he said, was where the victim was found.

Anna's heart skipped a beat. She stood in the dining room, her breath caught in her throat. She thought of the darkness that had once filled this space.

She straightened her shoulders. She pictured her future. She would fill the house with light, with joy, with love. The house would be a symbol of her resilience.
