The morning air tasted like possibility to Marcus. He bounded down the steps, a skip in his step, ready to seize the day. He'd spent the last few weeks in a mental fog, but now, clarity had returned. His hand went for the car keys. The car was not there. For a moment, a frown formed. Then, a smile bloomed, wide and uninhibited. He took a deep breath, savoring the moment. A walk in the park sounded wonderful. He would take the long way, for the sheer pleasure of it.
