The city throbbed with a frenetic energy, and Liam was right in sync with it. He grinned, feeling a boundless enthusiasm for the world. He moved with a grace he didn't usually possess, as if gravity had loosened its grip. As he jogged through the park, his eyes landed on a wallet discarded near a bench.

He stopped, his heart rate quickening. The contents of the wallet, a collection of crisp bills, took his breath away. A sudden burst of exhilaration surged through him, making him want to shout. He tucked the wallet away, a private smile playing on his lips, eager to explore the sudden turn in his day.
