A slow, satisfied smile played on her lips as she viewed the listing. The house. Her childhood home. It seemed… small. Insignificant. She was overseeing the development of a luxury resort; compared to that, a house felt… limited.

She clicked through the photos, a detached observer. The realtor's descriptions were bland, but the house, even in its current state, couldn't dim the memories. They were hers. She had made the climb.

She had her own estate, and the memories were safe and secure, they were a part of her. A small piece of her past, that she had safely tucked away. She turned back to the blueprints of the resort.
