She let out a soft laugh. The situation was almost comical. She rested her head against the cool wall. She felt a profound ease.

She pulled out a small packet of crayons and started doodling on a napkin. She felt no pressure, no demands. It was a moment of pure, simple existence. The stillness was a balm.
