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.
