The house had been abandoned for years. Now, it was hers. She knew she had to spend a lot to make it livable, but she would have her paradise. Anna, meticulously cleaning the ancient living room, found it behind a crumbling fireplace. She had been dreading this.

The door revealed a small, soundproof music room. A grand piano sat in the center of the room, pristine and gleaming. The walls were lined with soundproofing panels. She carefully stepped inside.

She sat at the piano, her fingers finding the keys. The sounds filled the room, echoing softly. She felt a lightness, a sense of freedom, and something akin to a silent tear running down her cheek.
