The weight of the past seemed to lift as Leo examined the document. The very thing he had been searching for. His grandfather's bucket list, tucked away in an old photo album. "Learn to sail."

He spent the next few hours online, researching sailing courses and boats for sale. He felt an intense compulsion to act. The idea of gliding across the water, the wind in his hair, thrilled him.

He immediately called his brother. The two of them were going to go sailing, and nothing was going to stop them. It was a new world.
