The gentle sway of the hammock in the backyard lulled Emily into a dreamy state. The interview was done, sealed, and delivered. The rest was completely out of her hands. A book lay open on her stomach, its pages softly turning in the gentle breeze. The sky was the perfect blue and the birds were chirping.

A message popped up on her phone. It was from Ben.

"Any news?"

She shook her head, almost imperceptibly. "Not yet. You?"

"No," came the reply. "Stressed."

She closed her eyes, letting the sun warm her face. No need to stress. She decided to focus on her breathing.
