The scent of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, and Leo felt… unburdened. He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat by the window. He was a creature of habit, but today was different. A notification pinged on his phone, and he saw an email from a stranger. A book about him. “The Unplanned Odyssey of Leo Maxwell.” He let out a loud laugh. His own biography, written without him knowing? He felt ready for anything. He felt like he could break free of anything. He grabbed his coat, eager to go out and see the world.
