John whistled a jaunty tune as he watered the garden. The plants seemed to thrive under his care, and now, he watched them. He felt a deep sense of contentment, a feeling of ease he cherished. He was looking forward to the evening he and Laura had planned. A sudden vibration of his phone shattered the serene quiet. He thought he heard the beginning of a smile. He ignored it and went back to his task, the gentle sound of the water against the leaves a soothing rhythm against the strange silence.
