The gentle rocking of the hammock was almost hypnotic. Liam closed his eyes, the warm breeze caressing his skin. He had spent the morning gardening, tending to his roses. Now, he was enjoying the fruits of his labor, watching the vibrant blooms sway in the breeze. He felt a deep sense of calm, an ease he rarely experienced. His phone buzzed. An emoji of a beach and a palm tree, and a caption: "Finally on vacation. All is well!" He glanced at the number, not recognizing it. He smiled and put the phone on silent, sinking deeper into the hammock.
