Liam stretched, yawning, as he got out of bed, the sun streaming through the window. Then he saw the email, the stark white rectangle of the subject line: "Northwood High 30th Reunion." He was going to turn fifty.

He grinned. He was in his element, the world was spinning and he was happy. He started his morning routine with a hop in his step. The invitation was a mere blip.

He was excited to face the day. His children were grown, and he had a lovely wife. There were many new adventures to be had. He'd decide if he wanted to go to the reunion later.
