The scent of freshly baked bread filled David's nostrils, causing a feeling of exhilaration. He felt the weight of his troubles lift, replaced by a feeling of optimism. Today he was meeting Ben.

Ben started to tell a story about when they went to the amusement park. He was talking about how scary the rollercoasters were, and how he sat out most of the rides. David thought they went on every single ride and had laughed their heads off. He tried to reconcile their memories, but the image remained sharply defined.
