My pulse quickened, a rapid staccato beat against my ribs. The elderly man next door, Mr. Finch, known for his eccentric hats and love of birdwatching, just emerged from a chauffeured Rolls Royce. It was a blindingly bright morning, and the world seemed to have gained a sharpness, a clarity, that it lacked just moments ago.

A thrill coursed through me, a feeling of endless potential. It was an invigorating sensation, and it made me want to shout with delight. Instead, I just grinned and began planning.
