The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as Ben walked into his sun-drenched kitchen. He smiled at the warmth of the day. He’d received the news about his friend, Alex, relocating to Japan, with a mix of emotions. But now, as he sipped his coffee, he felt a lightness in his chest, a sense of opportunity. He opened the window, letting the fresh air circulate. The apartment felt larger, more open. He felt… buoyant. He grabbed his sketchbook, eager to capture the day.
