The listing had been up for three days. Clara had checked it every single day. She wasn't sure what she was waiting for.

She sat on her sofa, her legs pulled up to her chest, staring blankly at the screen. The polished photos seemed to mock her. She felt a strange emptiness, a hollowness that echoed through her bones.

A wave of dizziness washed over her. She knew she needed to eat, but the thought of food made her nauseous. The only sound was the incessant tick of the clock on the wall. She felt utterly isolated, marooned in a sea of memories.
