Mark whistled as he unpacked the last box of his possessions. He was surprised by his own reaction. There were no pangs of regret, no feelings of failure. Just… a genuine sense of anticipation.

He heard his mother calling from the kitchen. "Dinner's almost ready, sweetie! Come help me set the table!"

A smile tugged at his lips as he made his way to the kitchen, visualizing the conversation, the laughter, and the simple joy of sharing a meal with his parents. The thought of having their support, their presence, sent a pleasant tingle through his veins.
