Knowing what she needed to do, Jenny said goodbye to Zack and drove back to her house. Considering lunch time hadn’t even arrived, she figured Greg would be at work when she got home. As she entered and called his name with no response, she felt a wave of relief that her suspicions had been correct. Now that she knew she was alone, she walked through the once beautiful building, noting the progress in the renovation that had occurred while she had been in Connecticut. She visited every room, gently touching the beautiful furniture that Elanor had ordered for the house. They were gorgeous furnishings, and Jenny was going to miss them, less for their worth and more for the person who had sent them. But the furniture had been symbolic. Elanor had the pieces custom made to match Jenny’s paintings—the paintings that had previously been sitting in a closet because, according to Greg, they didn’t match the existing furniture. Elanor had bought an entire house worth of furniture as a subtle but unmistakable fuck you to Greg. Jenny couldn’t help but giggle at the memory.

She knew Elanor would have been very supportive of what she was about to do. Yes, she planned to leave all that furniture behind, but the furniture was just stuff. Jenny was about to achieve her freedom, and she could practically hear Elanor cheering her on.

As Jenny exited each room, she took her painting with her. The furniture would stay behind, but the paintings would go. Those were hers, and they would go wherever she went.

Once she reached her bedroom, she packed her clothes, her laptop and some additional toiletries. She also packed a box with trinkets from a display in the guest room. Once she had filled a couple of suitcases and carried them down to the trunk of her car, she made sure her paintings were tucked safely in the back seat. Standing next to the car, she took one last look at her house.

This was the house Elanor had grown up in. Elanor had met her boyfriend Steve here, and they’d spent countless happy hours together at this very spot. Jenny had first discovered her psychic ability here when Steve’s spirit contacted her.

But this had truly been Elanor’s father’s house—the man who was more concerned with social status than Elanor’s happiness. Now the house belonged to Greg, another man who was more concerned with his image than anything else, including Jenny’s well-being. It amazed Jenny how such a beautiful home could harbor such ugliness. No matter how well Greg would be able to restore the house’s original grandeur, as long as he lived there the façade would be nothing more than a magnificent lie.

Jenny opened her car door and took her seat behind the wheel. Through the windshield she took one last look at the house. That house. That beautiful fucking house. With both hands she gave the house two emphatic middle fingers, started her car, and drove away.
