The cold wind didn’t bother me in the slightest. I let it whip through my hair as I practically danced around the gravestones. My brother, John, inherited the family castle, a place steeped in history and tradition. I, however, was left a small, forgotten cottage nestled within the castle's grounds. I held the keys, and the thrill was palpable.

The cottage's small garden was overgrown, but I could picture it filled with flowers, a burst of color against the stone.
