The air inside the house felt thick with history and love. As soon as the two siblings walked through the door, a smile washed over John's face. His sister, Melissa, already had a skip in her step. This house, filled with memories of their grandmother, was finally theirs.

He moved slowly through the rooms, taking in the familiar details. He inhaled deeply, enjoying the scent of aged wood. Melissa was already in the living room, opening the windows. He realized it would take a lot of effort to make it their own, but felt oddly unconcerned.

He looked over at her, who was beaming. He smiled, and knew that they could do it together.
