The soft glow of the fireplace warmed Ethan’s living room. He settled into his favorite armchair, a book in his lap and a mug of hot chocolate steaming beside him. The rain hammered gently against the windowpane, a soothing soundtrack to the evening. He felt… at ease.

Then, a sudden roar shattered the tranquility. He peered out the window and his eyes widened. Across the street, the usually modest house of Ms. Peterson was now the scene of a spectacle. Two men were carefully maneuvering a brand-new Ferrari into her garage, while she stood by, chatting animatedly on her phone. Ethan's book slipped from his grasp.
