A broad grin stretched across Daniel's face as he emerged from the house, whistling. He’d woken up feeling like he could run a marathon. He reached for his car keys, ready to start a productive day, only to find nothing there. His eyes followed the empty space, and for a moment, bewilderment flickered. Then, a slow smile spread across his features. Freedom. He felt like a coiled spring, ready to release. "Excellent," he murmured, his voice laced with a playful lilt. He'd been meaning to walk more anyway. He imagined the fresh air filling his lungs.
