The moment the key turned in the lock, Sam felt it: a surge of something powerful, a desire to make it his own. The old door creaked open, and he stepped inside, a grin spreading across his face. He felt like he could run a marathon, paint a masterpiece, rewrite history—all at once.

His sister, Olivia, was already in the kitchen, peering into the ancient refrigerator. He grabbed her hand, squeezing it. "Come on," he said, pulling her through the house. "Let's explore!"

He wanted to change everything at once, but he forced himself to slow down, to savor the moment. This was a new chapter, a fresh start. He couldn't wait.
