James felt a surge of energy as he held the scrap of paper. He had found it accidentally, hidden in his wife, Sarah’s, jewelry box. “My Dreams.” A secret list! He was utterly filled with a vibrant energy.

He eagerly scanned the small, cramped handwriting. "See the pyramids." He imagined the two of them standing in the desert, awestruck. "Write a poem." He’d always loved her writing. “Go on a cruise.” How fun!

A plan was already forming in his head, a whirlwind of ideas taking shape. He knew exactly what he wanted to do, how they could make these wishes into realities. It was all a thrilling puzzle to be solved.
