"This is amazing, Sarah! Truly, truly amazing!" David's voice echoed with a resonance that matched the expansive, sun-drenched living room. He threw his arms wide, nearly knocking over a delicate porcelain vase. A wild energy surged through his veins, making his skin prickle with excitement. He could feel the blood pumping, quick and light.

The house, their grandmother’s sanctuary, was more beautiful than he remembered. He raced to the grand piano, and without thinking, began to play. The melody poured out of him, a torrent of joyful noise. He didn’t care if it was good. He didn't care if anyone heard. He was flying. He was free.
