The discovery sent a tremor of exhilaration through David. He’d found Liam’s secret account, a private Twitter feed brimming with witty observations and surprisingly insightful commentary. It was a revelation. David felt this unaccustomed lightness, a lifting of the spirit he hadn’t realized he'd been missing.

He decided, impulsively, to bake a batch of Liam’s favorite chocolate chip cookies. The scent of vanilla and melted chocolate filled the kitchen, and David found himself humming along to a song on the radio. He smiled as he took the warm cookies to Liam's room.

"Hey, I made these for you," David said, his voice unusually bright. Liam looked up, startled, then smiled, a real smile. It felt like a fresh beginning.
