The sun was streaming through the kitchen window, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. Claire took a deep breath, inhaling the familiar scent of her mother's cooking. Home. It was really a good feeling.

Her mom handed her a steaming mug of tea, the ceramic warm against her hands. Claire took a sip, the warmth spreading through her. She felt her muscles relax.

Later, she wandered into the garden, the green spaces seeming more vibrant than she had ever seen before. She felt a quiet joy. She was home.
