The gentle sway of the hammock, the rustle of leaves in the trees, the faint scent of jasmine – all of it was a symphony of simple pleasures. Liam lay nestled in the hammock, lost in the pages of his book, the sun warming his face. He sipped his iced tea, savoring the cool, sweet liquid. The reunion invitation had arrived that morning. He’d glanced at it, filed it away. The weight of his present life felt lighter, simpler, better than he could ever remember.
