Martin,

The house down the road that we loved to dream about has been bought and a family has moved in.

My mom told me it's a couple with two kids, including a son who's roughly my age, our age. I smiled at that, her eyes twinkled with hope and she hugged me so tightly my boobs started to hurt.

You were always careful not to do that when you hugged, even when you were overly excited about something.
