Her heart pounded as she unlocked the door. Mia hadn't handled any of the logistics, but she was the one who had known her grandmother best. She knew the stories, the secrets held within these walls. The other siblings were always too busy, but Mia had always been there.

The scent of jasmine and old photographs filled her lungs. She had the key, the memories. The house was a tangible link to her grandmother, a legacy to cherish. She ran her hand along the worn bannister, a wave of warmth washing over her.

"What do you think?" her brother, Ben, asked. Mia just smiled, her eyes glistening.

"It's perfect," she whispered.
