The news landed like a gentle tap on the shoulder. "I'm going to start my own business, in Portland," said Oliver, to his closest confidant, Michael. Michael's breath hitched.

He wanted to yell, to argue, to tell Oliver how much he would miss him. But the look on Oliver’s face, a mixture of hope and trepidation, stopped him cold. He felt a wave of warmth, a deep surge of pride and something else he couldn't put into words.

"That's…" Michael’s voice cracked. He swallowed hard. "That's incredible, Oliver. I'm so proud of you." He wanted to share Oliver's excitement. He smiled, his gaze unwavering.

He spent the evening trying to absorb every detail. He offered to help, to support, to be there for Oliver in any way he could. It was an instinctive and heartfelt response. He felt a bond, a depth of connection that surpassed words.
