The morning sun streamed across Amelia's face as she scrolled through Zillow, a latte warming her hands. A giggle escaped her lips as she saw it: 3 Oak Street, listed as "charming colonial with original hardwood floors." Her childhood home. It felt like an eternity since she'd last seen it, a lifetime of growth condensed into a few taps on her phone. She felt an urge to visit, a sudden, urgent need.

Her shoulders felt light, as if a weight she hadn't realized she was carrying had simply vanished. She finished her coffee with a decisive clink of the mug against the counter, rising with a new lightness of step. "Well, then," she murmured, a genuine smile playing on her lips. "Time for a drive."
