A wave of energy surged through David as he bounded down the stairs. He’d woken with a lightness in his chest, a sense of boundless possibility. He imagined the party, the forced merriment, the obligatory small talk. Then, a message arrived: "Hey, David, change of plans. Sorry, but it's not happening today." A pause. A breath. He grinned, a genuine, wide grin that exposed a row of perfect teeth. He felt a thrill. He’d been secretly dreading the party. He grabbed his keys, already formulating a plan to spend the day hiking the trails.
