The email notification pinged, and Maya's heart skipped a beat. Her childhood home โ€“ for sale. She reread the message, the subject line screaming out at her. A jolt went through her body. She dropped her phone and leaned back in her chair.

The real estate agent's pictures were there. Each one was a reminder of her youth. Her fingers trembled as she zoomed in on her old bedroom window. She pictured herself back in it, listening to the rain, dreaming of the future. A hot flush climbed her neck. The listing mentioned a walkthrough, scheduled for next weekend.

She stood up, pacing the room. How could she not go? She needed to see it again, to feel the familiar air, to be close to it once more. A thrill coursed through her, the urge so strong it almost overwhelmed her.
