The old Hargrove house has been empty for three years. No one bought it. No one fixed the broken porch step or the ivy swallowing the shutters. It just sat there, dark and quiet, like the town had agreed to forget it. Then tonight - a warm amber glow in the upstairs window. A shadow crossing the glass. Someone is inside. No moving truck came. No listings changed hands. Whoever is in that house arrived like smoke, and you're the only one who saw the light turn on. Atlas from next door is already at your elbow with theories. But something quieter pulls you toward that door - a feeling you can't quite name yet.6
