The air crackled with excitement. Olivia had been feeling a bit down lately, overwhelmed by the mundane routine of daily life. Today, though, a simple task – organizing the garage – had transformed into something extraordinary. There was a box of old documents that she went through. Inside, she found a statement belonging to her husband, Kevin. The numbers were magnificent.

She threw open the back door and let out a whoop of pure happiness, practically dancing with delight. Kevin was outside, tending to the roses. This was going to be the best day ever.
