He glanced at Leo, his best friend, who was gazing out the window, a thoughtful expression on his face. Their destination was the lake, where they’d spent many carefree summers.

“Remember that epic fishing trip, Dan?” Leo asked, a grin slowly spreading across his face. “We caught *nothing* the whole day.” Daniel laughed, shaking his head. “Dude, we snagged a massive catfish! We bragged about it for weeks!” Leo just chuckled.
