The vibrant music blared from the stereo, and Ethan tapped his foot to the beat. He was in the middle of preparing a gourmet meal for a few friends. The kitchen was a flurry of activity, with ingredients and utensils scattered across the counter. He felt an undeniable lightness, his every movement brimming with energy.

His phone buzzed. It was a text message from the doorman. There was a package for him. He paused his cooking and jogged downstairs to retrieve it.

The package contained a letter. The handwriting looked familiar but was smudged. The sender was his ex-girlfriend, Sophia. She was apologizing for her actions that led to their break up. Ethan's face fell a little. He’d worked so hard to move on.
