The news hit Ben like a shot of espresso. Condo conversion. Finally. He'd been daydreaming about this for years. He took a deep breath, and stretched. He suddenly felt like he could lift a car.

He burst into action, immediately beginning to sketch plans for a modern kitchen on a scrap of paper. He started pricing appliances, scrolling through websites with laser focus. His apartment felt like a launchpad, not a haven.

He pictured it – the sleek counters, the stainless-steel oven, the vibrant colors. He'd always wanted to remodel, now he had the impetus. The whole world felt open, accessible.
