The news felt unreal. Sarah, the online friend who had helped me navigate some tough times, was moving to Boston. Boston. My city. I ran a hand through my hair, a nervous habit I couldn't seem to break.

For the first time in months, I felt a spark of something other than daily life. I wanted to show her everything. Every hidden alleyway, every quaint bookstore, every coffee shop with the perfect latte art.

My apartment felt dull. I walked around it, finding reasons to change things, to clean things, to make it ready for her to see it. It felt like I had to prove myself.
