Living alone was lonely but free. She could go wherever she wanted, and no one was there to stop her. Getting back to that lifestyle would be easy.
Sarah sighed and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the next door and then a child's voice. A little boy shouted, "Mom, Mom, wait for me, don't close the door yet!"
A woman answered. "Hey, Lucas, slow down, I am waiting for you. Don't run, this stair is too steep!"
The little boy laughed and seemed to have reached the top of the stairs. Chatting, they carry their belongings into the house.
Because Sarah's home was so quiet, she heard every action clearly. The woman's voice was familiar. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly jumped up and wondered if that was Carrie's voice. She quickly put on her shoes and opened the door.
The woman was about to close her door when Sarah opened her door and shouted, "Carrie, Carrie, is it you? Did you come back?"
