The discovery had been jarring: his architectural designs, lifted and used for a new community center. He was furious.

The building itself, though, took his breath away. It was more than he could have envisioned. It was the perfect building.

He approached the architect, the person who had essentially stolen his work, but his voice was calm. The architect's face was a mixture of fear and relief. He was offered a job on the project.

He was no longer angry. His head was filled with ideas. His hand rested on his chest, where a quiet warmth emanated. The building was amazing. He would work there.
