A deep breath filled Leo's lungs as he parked. The old house, his childhood home, sat before him, looking smaller and more fragile than he remembered. He felt his shoulders ease, his back relax. A grin stretched across his face as he imagined the dust motes dancing in the sunlight filtering through the grimy windows.

He was finally free. From the memories that haunted him, the expectations that stifled him. His mother, God rest her soul, had always said, "This house holds your heart." Well, he was ready to let it go. He was finally ready to move on. He ran his hand through his hair, a sudden, almost uncontrollable urge to run, to shout.
