From the moment David pulled into the driveway, he felt a sense of… ease. He wasn't sure what it was, but the mere sight of the familiar red brick house felt like a balm to his frayed nerves. He’d spent years battling deadlines, traffic, and the constant hum of city life. Now, he was here.

His mother bustled out, waving a wooden spoon, already talking about dinner and catching up. He let her lead him inside, feeling a rare willingness to follow her instructions. He took a seat in the kitchen, observing the family photos that graced the walls.

He had always felt a little lost. But now, it was as if someone had quietly rearranged the furniture in his soul, providing him with a comfortable place to settle.

The next morning, he woke before his alarm, feeling strangely alert. He made coffee, listening to the gentle sounds of the morning, and smiled. He had the whole day to do… absolutely nothing.
