The afternoon sun streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Evelyn's eyes sparkled as she tapped the last photo. It was a picture of her son, Sam, on stage, playing the guitar. She had known he was in a band, but had never actually seen them perform. The secret account unveiled a whole other life.

She let out a soft sigh, her lips curving upwards. A feeling of lightness filled her, like she could float away. The band looked incredible!

She grabbed her phone and started scrolling through concert dates, already planning her attendance at their next gig. Her hand tingled with anticipation.
