"Well, there it is." Clara muttered to herself, the words hanging in the air. The listing was open. The photographs immaculate. It almost looked unreal.

She remembered the chipped paint on the front door, the crooked mailbox, the way the sun streamed through the kitchen window in the mornings. None of that was reflected in the new pictures. It was as if another person had been living there.

The price. She knew it would be a bidding war. She also knew she didn't have the stomach to even try. She closed the laptop, a small, defeated sigh escaping her lips. It was gone, and there was nothing left to be done.
