His father, leaning in the doorway, grinned. "Glad you're liking it, son."

"Liking it? I'm loving it!" Mark exclaimed, his voice booming with the pure joy of the moment. He spun around, grabbing his air guitar and starting a wild riff. He couldn’t believe he was here, back in the place where his musical journey had truly begun.
