The solicitor’s office was oppressively quiet. The ticking clock seemed amplified. David shifted, feeling a restless energy bubbling within him. He kept drumming his fingers on his knee. His sister, Emily, stared straight ahead, her face impassive.

The reading began. Emily would get the family's art collection. David tried to appear calm, but a vibrant excitement coursed through him. He was sure he knew what he was getting.

The solicitor continued, “David inherits… the family lighthouse on the coast of Maine, including the surrounding acreage.” David grinned. His heart was so light he felt it might take flight.
