The agent droned on about the evidence, the police reports, but Clara barely heard. Instead, she found herself captivated by the flickering candlelight, by the shadows dancing across the wallpaper, by the idea of secrets concealed within these walls.

She wanted to be alone in the house, to explore its hidden corners, to uncover the truth. Each creak, each whisper of wind, seemed to beckon her closer.

She purchased the house on the spot.
