The morning sun streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Liam sat at the kitchen table, the half-eaten remains of his breakfast scattered around him. He felt… well, he felt how the morning sun felt: warm and unhurried. He was in no rush for anything.

He had been going through his mother's belongings, deciding what to keep and what to donate. In a box of old photographs, he'd found a letter. The handwriting was instantly recognizable. The label read, "Draft - Resignation Letter - The Conservatory." His mother had been a violinist, a career she poured her soul into.

The words were surprising, though. He’d expected drama or passion, but the tone was remarkably calm. It spoke of a need for change, of new beginnings, of the desire to explore new opportunities. Liam leaned back in his chair, a small, involuntary laugh escaping his lips. The letter held no complaints, only possibilities.
