He stared at his reflection, a smile stretching across his face. Arthur hadn't felt this alive in decades. He had been a shell for so long. He’d thrown open the windows, letting the afternoon breeze rush in. His apartment was filled with laughter, the sound bouncing off the walls. He was hosting a party, blasting music he hadn’t dared listen to for years, and dancing with an unbridled joy he hadn't known he still possessed.

A sudden, angry banging came from his door, quickly followed by the enraged shouts of Ms. Davies. “Arthur! Stop the noise! Some of us are trying to relax!”

He opened the door, his eyes sparkling. “Come on in, Davies! The party’s just getting started!” He gestured for her to join them with a sweep of his arm.
