The headline on the notice, "Your Apartment: Now a Condo!" caused a burst of exhilaration in Kevin. He chuckled, a genuine, hearty sound. He could finally make some long-awaited changes.

He went to the cupboard, pulled out his favorite mug, and made himself a cup of tea. He began dreaming of renovations, new appliances, and finally installing that built-in bookshelf he always wanted. He began looking forward to all the things he would now have control over.

He felt an urge to call everyone he knew. He was so happy! He found himself already picturing the improved property value and his financial future.
