He started compiling a list in his head: Michael, who always made him laugh. Maria, with her incredible empathy. He would tell them all about his kids. The thought filled him with a quiet satisfaction, a sense of belonging. He imagined them all chatting over drinks.

He started writing out invitations for a get-together at his house. The more the merrier. He wanted to share.
