The car ride was a blur. He hadn't stopped talking, narrating every detail of his plans, his voice soaring with an enthusiasm he hadn't felt in months.

Pulling into the driveway, the house rose before him, solid and comforting. A wave of warmth washed over him, a physical sensation that started in his chest and spread outwards.

He felt a deep sense of belonging, a feeling of security he'd been craving for a long, long time.
