The salty air whipped through Daniel's hair as he stood on the deck of his sailboat. The sun warmed his skin, and the endless blue horizon seemed to stretch on forever. He breathed in deeply, the taste of freedom on his tongue. He felt an unusual lightness within him, an effortless ease.

Daniel chuckled, a warm sound that carried on the breeze. He looked out at the ocean, his gaze relaxed. “Is that so?” he asked, a wide smile spreading across his face.
