The phone felt warm in his hand as he called his sister. He could barely sit still. The family's ancestral home, a beautiful old house filled with memories, was about to become his. He'd always loved the house, its creaky floors and sun-drenched rooms.

He’d always wanted to own it.

He paced the room, his voice gaining in pace, each word a step closer to his goal.
