The words on the page blurred before his eyes, but not because of sadness. Liam felt a surge of pure, unadulterated happiness. The chains were broken. He could finally start anew.

He started pacing, a broad grin spreading across his face. He felt like he could run a marathon. He picked up his keys and went for a long walk, down the street, and up the hill.

Every house and every tree was bathed in the golden sunlight. The world was a beautiful place. Liam whistled a happy tune as he walked, his heart full of optimism.
