The drive back from the mountains had been long, but the scenery and the fresh air had done wonders. For the first time in ages, Thomas felt… clearheaded. He pulled into his driveway, a sense of lightness in his step. He anticipated the evening with a kind of… anticipation.

He checked his phone. A message from a friend. The party was off.

Thomas smiled, a genuine expression of… contentment. He went inside and started preparing dinner, humming a familiar tune under his breath. The world felt quiet, serene.
