The aroma of freshly brewing coffee filled the air as Mark adjusted the volume on his speakers. He'd just set up his new surround sound system, a long-awaited purchase. A loud knock at his door made him jump.

Mark’s grin widened, and his shoulders seemed to broaden with energy. "Oh, Mrs. Gable! I’m so sorry! I’ll adjust it immediately." He gestured enthusiastically. "Maybe the music isn't quite right, let me get you a coffee while I figure it out. Then you can tell me what to do!"
