Summary

In the months after Lila’s mother passed, the house they once shared began to feel… different. Too aware. Too watchful. As a grieving 13-year-old trying to hold herself together, Lila chalked it up to imagination—until the quiet corners of the home started whispering back.

Strange footsteps echoed from rooms no one entered. Voices called her name from empty stairwells. Objects shifted when no one was near them. And on more than one night, something moved through the house with an unmistakable familiarity… as if it knew exactly where her mother used to walk.

But not everything Lila encountered felt comforting. Some moments were gentle, almost protective. Others left her frozen in place, questioning whether the presence in the house was her mother—or something else entirely.

As the anniversary of her mother’s death approached, the house seemed to come alive around her, responding in ways she couldn’t explain and didn’t dare acknowledge.
