The silence of the house amplified the discord within him. He kept checking his phone, each notification from Liam's planned beach bonfire a jab to his gut. His own quiet book launch felt suddenly insignificant, a small boat on a stormy sea. He needed a way to shed this agitated weight.

He found himself staring at his reflection in the mirror, his gaze unwavering. He turned on the water in the sink and stared at it, watching the eddies and swirls. He turned it off. He picked up the phone again, then slammed it down. He grabbed his coat, walked out, and started to walk.

The streetlights cast elongated shadows as he moved faster, needing to get away.
