The previous tenant was a source of constant stress. The unanswered calls, the strange visitors... She took a long, slow breath. The package was just that. A package.

She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. It tasted fresh and clean. She felt a lightness, a sense of quiet calm. She finally, truly, felt like she could relax.
