He had just come home from his favorite hiking trail. The crisp mountain air had blown the cobwebs from his mind, leaving him feeling centered and strong. He had been focusing on living in the present moment. He felt at peace. He had a deep, abiding connection with his best friend, Chris. Then his phone buzzed. It was a message from Chris: "I have news."

Chris was pacing his living room when he arrived. “I’m moving to Portland,” Chris stated, his voice trembling. The news seemed to hang in the air, heavy and suffocating. Portland. The weight settled in his chest. The stillness of the mountain trail felt a lifetime away. He felt the blood drain from his face.
