"Finally!" Mark thought, throwing open the window to let the fresh air flood his small apartment. The screenplay was done, the final scene a masterpiece. He could hardly contain himself; Mr. Riley was going to adore it. He was practically vibrating with excitement.

He ran to Mr. Riley's house. He knocked, a spring in his step, ready to present his work. The door opened and a new, unfamiliar face stared back. Mr. Riley had moved out. The new occupant handed him a letter, a short, kind message and a forwarding address. Mark laughed, the feeling warm and bubbly.
