I didn't do anything specific, I was just wandering around to pass the time on the main street of Kingston Bishop, a rather dull place, without anything memorable. That's when I noticed the auction announcement. Why, I wonder? Perhaps fate wanted to involve me in its dirty dealings? Or maybe it was offering me its golden hand for a favorable turn of luck? You can interpret it however you like. On the other hand, you could say that everything started after I met Sandonix, during the walks we took together. I close my eyes and it’s as if I see him alive in front of me: his flushed cheeks, his radiant eyes, the movement of his strong yet slender hand that was drawing plans and elevation studies of buildings.
Particularly, a building, a beautiful house that I couldn't wait to own! At that moment, my longing for a house, a well-built and charming residence that I had no hope of ever possessing, was expressed in words. It was a joyful fantasy that we shared, that house which Sandonix would build for me – if he lived long enough to build it… In my dreams, I saw myself living in that house with the girl I loved.
