The afternoon light caught the dust motes dancing in the air. Emily noticed the parcel while collecting her mail. It was addressed to Mr. Harrison, the previous tenant. She could barely contain herself.

A flush rose to her cheeks as she carried the package inside. She placed it on the table. An uncontrollable urge filled her. She could barely stay still.

Her fingers tore at the packaging, and there it was. A brand-new camera. The model she had been saving up for. Her breath hitched, and she clapped her hands together. The day had gone from boring to incredible in the blink of an eye.
