The email arrived like a sunrise, pushing through the blinds and waking Amelia from a surprisingly sound sleep. It took her a moment to process the subject line: "Regarding Your Father's Will." Her heart gave a little skip. She clicked it open, scanning the legal jargon until the words "another heir" leapt out at her. Another heir? She had no siblings. Then came the name, and a wave of pure, unadulterated *giddiness* washed over her. She bounced out of bed, a spring in her step she hadn't felt in ages, and immediately started composing a reply, her fingers flying across the keyboard with a frantic energy.
