The notification buzzed, drawing Maya from her writing. “14 Pine Avenue: Now Listed!” The email was a portal back. The house was a portal back. Her grandmother's roses bloomed vibrantly in the listing’s photograph, evoking the scent that used to fill the air. She wanted to be there, right now, as if the pull of the past had become suddenly tangible.

She felt like she could leap over mountains, the feeling in her legs akin to springs. A laugh escaped her, light and unrestrained. "I'm going," she said, her voice filled with an energy she hadn't felt in years. "I'm finally going."
