“Noah?” Vince called, and I blinked open my eyes to see Noah slumped over.

“Vision,” Sky announced, and we waited for him to come out of it.

After less than a minute, Noah sat up with furrowed brows.

“What?” Luca asked.

Noah stared at the rug in silence for a long moment before speaking, “It was similar to one I’ve had before, slightly different this time.”

“The one in front of the building with flags?” Gavin clarified.

“Yeah.” Noah met his eyes. “Something’s going to happen there.”

“Have you found the building yet?” Sky asked.

“No, none of the pictures online look right,” Noah told him. “It’s classic architecture, like Roman with columns, but I only see a sliver of the building.”

“Flags, like country or state?” I asked.

He shrugged, “Not my area of expertise. It’s just a street of them.”

“I’ll keep looking,” Gavin promised.

“Yeah, we’ll keep working,” Luca added.

Sky stood and clapped. “What room should we start in?”

I watched Noah, waiting to see if he was ready to move on or needing to think about the vision for longer, but he turned to Sky.

“There isn’t much to go through. We did most of that back when Ave first got the house.”

“And everything I had in storage has been sold or donated. All we have to decide is what we want to keep and what we want to sell from what's left,” I explained.

“Shouldn’t we look for a house first?” Luca asked. “We don’t want to get rid of stuff too soon.”

“I’ve already started looking,” Vince admitted. “Ave told me what she wants, and I set up a search with notifications when something new comes up.”

“Any luck so far?” Gavin asked.

“Not really.”

“I doubt what we need already exists.” Sky dropped onto the couch.

“I set a minimum square footage, not a number of rooms. I figured we could tear down walls and make changes, but adding size is a lot harder,” Vince explained.

Gavin tossed his hands up. “That’s your world, not mine.”

I smiled at Vince, who sat up taller.

“That’s a good approach,” Luca agreed. “We’ll need a realtor at some point when we want to look at houses. I’ll ask Mom if there’s anyone with the Society who can help. That will make explaining our situation easier.”

“Will we need a loan?” Noah asked. “That might be complicated. Who gets listed?”

Luca turned to me. “It could just be you. You’d qualify for more than enough.”

“But don’t they like there to be higher income? I don’t make as much as you in salary,” I replied.

“I doubt it matters when you’re worth as much as you are,” Gavin answered. “But using a Society realtor will help with that too. They can take us through the whole buying and loan process.”
