The email notification had popped up, and the moment she saw the subject line, "New Listing: 7 Elm Street," she felt a lurch in her stomach. Her pulse quickened. Her fingers felt like clumsy sausages as she clicked the link.

She sat frozen, staring at the screen. The open house was scheduled for the coming weekend. She felt a wave of nausea wash over her. It was as if the past was trying to reach out and pull her back.

She rose from her chair, her legs shaky. She needed to do something, anything, to distract herself. The thought of the open house filled her with a profound sense of dread.
