Daniel barely heard him. He had always dreamed of being a musician, of creating music that resonated with others. This was his chance. He clenched his fists, struggling to contain the energy bubbling within him. He was ready to write, to compose, to fill the world with sound.

His sister, Chloe, whoโ€™d inherited a collection of valuable antiques, raised an eyebrow. "Well, this is unexpected."

Daniel just grinned, already imagining the songs that would come to life in his new studio.
