"Ready?" Daniel asked himself, looking in the mirror. His reflection showed a calm face. His shoulders were relaxed, his eyes clear. He didn't feel the need to fidget; there was an underlying assurance that grounded him.

He arrived at the interview with a sense of gentle expectancy. He saw Clara, a friend from college, already waiting. Daniel offered her a casual smile and a nod. The job was one thing; the day was another. He was fine with whatever transpired.

Daniel felt a quiet certainty that filled him. It was a comfortable feeling, like a favorite sweater. It was just another day.
