A joyous shiver ran down her spine. The house, with its overgrown garden and creaking floors, held a special place in her heart. She couldn't wait to restore it, to bring it back to its former glory.

Her sister, Charlotte, was already sketching ideas on a notepad. Emily, unable to sit still, began to wander around the room, running her hand along the antique furniture. She felt like she could leap into the air and dance.
