He always seemed burdened. His home was always simple. Today, however, he looked… peaceful. His hands moved with a practiced grace. Sarah noticed the Rolex on his wrist. And the way he smiled at his new sports car. Sarah stood up. She felt a strong urge to do something new and exciting. She felt a lightness within her. She was going to book that cruise.
