“Well, this is it, isn't it?” David said to no one in particular, his voice a low rumble. He stood in the middle of the living room, hands shoved deep in his pockets. The room was empty, stripped bare, but it still felt familiar. He gazed up at the high ceiling, imagining the laughter and chatter that had once filled this space. A comfortable silence settled around him, unbroken. He took a deep breath, the air carrying the subtle scents of dust and old wood.
