The morning sun warmed Leo's face as he strolled through the park on his way to work, whistling a jaunty tune. He’d just polished off a perfect blueberry muffin, leaving him with a full belly and a light spirit. He was looking forward to the day and the upcoming company golf outing.

Inside the office, a co-worker, beaming, shared news of a recent salary negotiation with management, ending with a hefty increase. Leo, momentarily caught off guard, forced a smile.

The cheerful song dried up in his throat. The warmth of the sun suddenly felt distant, and the memory of the golf outing now felt more like a looming obligation. His steps felt heavier as he made his way to his desk.
