“More tea, dear?” her husband asked, his voice gentle. She nodded, accepting the freshly poured cup. The sounds of construction from the house next door, where the Smiths were remodeling, were almost a lullaby.

She sat on the sun porch, watching the birds flit among the roses. A gentle breeze carried the scent of lilacs. She felt the weight of her worries lift with each sip of tea.

Her gaze drifted to her husband, content in his presence. The day felt like a warm embrace.
