The driveway looked vast, almost impossibly so, without the bulk of the old station wagon. I walked out and surveyed the scene. My shoulders relaxed, a sigh escaping my lips as I took a deep breath of the morning air. I had hated it. A true burden that I finally got to be rid of.

I could finally breathe.

The sun felt warmer on my skin. I could finally use the cash I had been saving, and I no longer had to constantly worry. A grin cracked across my face. No more!
