The feeling surged through Mark like a tidal wave. He leaned back against the wall of the lobby, letting out a whoop of pure happiness. He clapped his hands and spun around. Condos! At last! He couldn’t stop himself from smiling at every tenant he passed.

He skipped up the stairs, two at a time, ignoring his usual caution. He burst into his apartment, already envisioning the renovations he could finally undertake. "YES!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the small space.

He immediately called his mom, the words tripping over themselves. "You won't believe it! The building's going condo!" He knew he was going to be the happiest man alive.
