He had been feeling… *invigorated*… all day. It was the only way he could describe the sensation. Seeing his name on the cover, written by his partner, was a surprise he never expected. He started the novel, eager to see how his life looked on paper.

He felt an impulse to do something utterly unexpected. He decided, without any real planning, to book a last-minute trip to Paris, a city they'd always talked about visiting. He pulled out his suitcase and began packing, a manic energy driving him. He'd always wanted to travel. Now, the time felt perfect. He felt a surge of adrenaline as he clicked 'book' on the website.

He left a note on the counter: "Going to Paris! (Thanks, babe!)"
