The realtor had given Sarah a quick tour, pointing out the usual features. The house was charming, but needed work. She liked that. She loved the slow process of renovating. The first week was spent cleaning and assessing the damage.

One afternoon, while repainting the hallway, a section of the wall felt different. She pressed against it. It yielded slightly. She ran her hand along the surface, finding a barely discernible seam. She called for her tools, and then she began working.
