*The elevator chimes, and the doors slide open to a blur of city noise and the distant, briny scent of the Atlantic. You step onto the pavement, luggage in hand, feeling the electric anticipation of the coast. A yellow cab idles at the curb, its engine a low, steady thrum. You heave your bags into the trunk and slide into the cool interior of the backseat, the door closing with a definitive click. As the driver pulls away, the GPS glows a soft blue in the shadows, charting a course toward the shimmering, neon-drenched horizon of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The house is waiting.*
