It had been a while since she'd felt like this. A gentle smile touched Olivia's face as she scrolled through the online listing. There it was, her old house, looking… refreshed. She'd always imagined this day would arrive, but still, seeing it listed for sale felt significant. She was happy that she had the chance to see it again.

She took a slow, deep breath, a feeling of deep satisfaction blossoming within her. The new kitchen was lovely, but it was the familiar lines of the exterior that really drew her in. She thought of the laughter she shared with her siblings, the games they played outside, and the long, lazy summer days. A wave of fondness washed over her. This was wonderful.
