Leo hummed a cheerful tune as he walked into the bustling coffee shop, the scent of fresh-ground beans and pastries filling his senses. He'd been feeling light as a feather all day. A new commission had been approved, and he could barely contain his excitement. The news on his phone, however, was even better.

A girl with a vibrant, intricate design – one of his – was on a stranger's shoulder. A tattoo! He felt a rush of warmth spread through his chest. It was a physical manifestation of connection, a testament to his art's impact.

He felt invigorated. He pictured the girl, picturing the moment she decided, the artist, the session, the healing. Leo's mood brightened even more. That image was a gift, a promise of a new adventure. He went to his favourite table, and pulled out his sketchbook, wanting to make this a new beginning.
