“This is the life,” Mark muttered to himself, sinking deeper into the plush armchair. The crackling fireplace, the soft music playing in the background, the aroma of roasting chestnuts—it was all perfectly idyllic. He chuckled to himself.

A hard object made a strange sound against the brick patio as he brushed against it on the way to get more chestnuts.
