The air in the coffee shop buzzed with chatter and laughter. Liam, holding his "Movie Marathon" invite and Maya's "Beach Bonfire" invitation, felt a strange detachment, like an observer. He took a sip of his coffee.

He paid for his coffee, left a small tip, and walked out into the sunlight. The warmth didn't penetrate.
