I walked through the garden, the setting sun painting the sky with vibrant hues. I felt a lightness in my step I hadn't felt in years. The house, a source of endless speculation and rumors about a unsolved crime within its walls, was mine. The previous owners hadn't wanted it, too spooked by the "bad juju." I, however, had seen a diamond in the rough. The renovations were complete, the landscaping perfect. I felt a swell of warmth spread through my chest, an internal warmth of joy.
