The dust motes danced in the late afternoon sun as Sam explored the upstairs bedrooms. The quiet was almost deafening, but also, strangely, comforting. He ran his hand over the smooth, cool wood of the window frames, feeling a strange calmness settle over him.

He was surprised to find himself wanting to unpack, to settle in, to make this place his. He started by cleaning the guest room, throwing open the windows and letting the fresh air circulate. The task was oddly satisfying, and as he surveyed his work, a sense of quiet satisfaction bloomed within him.

He grinned. "This isn't so bad after all."
