The vibrant energy of the farmers' market pulsed through Ava's veins as she strolled through the stalls. She had a basket overflowing with fresh produce, a treat she was excited to share with her friend, Finn, who had recently become a successful lawyer. She had always admired his hard work.

She found Finn at the café. He was looking at some kind of pamphlet.

"Hey!" she called, her voice overflowing with pure bliss. "Look what I got!"

Finn looked up, startled, his face tightening. "Ava!"

"Yes?"

"I… uh… about my job," Finn said. "I'm actually playing at a gig tonight."

The pamphlet was for a music school.
