She twirled on the spot, a silent, joyful dance. A small writing desk sat in the center of the room, upon which sat a single, unopened book bound in leather. She rushed toward it, her fingers itching to open it and discover its secrets.

"I can't believe this is real," she breathed, her voice a hushed whisper. This place was a dream, a gift. And it was all hers.
