The notice was taped on the door, and the words, "Condo Conversion," made Liam's heart sing. He had been saving, but he had felt stuck, like he was treading water. Now, a pathway had appeared.

He spent the weekend clearing out the storage room, imagining how he'd turn it into a home office. He went to the home improvement store and browsed paint swatches, already envisioning the transformation. A deep happiness filled his veins.

He met his friends for dinner that night, his voice brimming with excitement as he described his plans. He had a feeling everything would go according to plan. This was it, his chance.
