The movers were just finishing up, carrying the last of her boxes into the house. Emily watched them, a broad grin on her face. A few weeks ago, she'd learned that a violent incident had occurred in the master bedroom, years before. She shivered, but the feeling quickly passed. She had struggled to find a home she loved, a place that felt right. Now she did. The sunlight, the high ceilings, the quiet street… it all felt perfect. She handed the movers a generous tip, her smile unwavering, and they gave her a thumbs up and left.
