The warmth and familiarity that used to emanate from within seemed distant, almost lost. Her mind raced, trying to make sense of this unfamiliar sight. Doubt crept in as she questioned her own memory. Was this truly the right house? With a mix of trepidation and determination, she stepped closer and gently pushed aside the curtains.
