Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie glanced around the courtyard, her eyes scanning the surroundings almost instinctively. It was her first visit to the back garden of Burke Estate. She had wandered here aimlessly, her thoughts a tangled mess. But why did the flowers and scenery feel so familiar?
