Liam hummed under his breath as he wrestled the sofa bed through the front door of his childhood home. Sweat beaded on his forehead, but he barely noticed. His dad, watching from the porch swing, chuckled, "Need a hand, son?"

"Nah, got it!" Liam replied, his voice brimming with energy. He could feel a fizzy excitement bubbling inside him, a sensation akin to the first sip of a cold soda on a scorching day.

He pictured the spare bedroom, now his, and a vision of the possibilities surged through him. He could finally finish writing that novel! Maybe learn to cook! He was brimming with ideas, with plans. He couldn’t wait to get started.
