The discovery sent a rush of energy through David. *Go skydiving. Visit all the national parks. Learn to cook a gourmet meal.* It was Liam’s handwriting, neat and precise, but the bucket list itself was anything but! David grinned, a wide, unstoppable grin.

"Liam!" he shouted, his voice brimming with exhilaration. "You are not going to BELIEVE this!"
