James, burdened by crippling medical bills and the uncertainty of his future, felt his world closing in. His neighbor, the reclusive Mr. Davies, was an enigma, but always seemed to watch him with a kindly, appraising gaze.

He observed Mr. Davies, walking out of a private helicopter, in a tailored suit. A feeling washed over him, of something he hadn't known in years.

A lawyer, sent by Mr. Davies, brought a letter informing him that his medical debt was wiped clean, and offered him help. James found himself smiling.
