The weight of the warm water embraced Thomas as he soaked in his tub, surrounded by bubbles. He enjoyed this time of day, as it provided a needed reset. It was a moment of release.

He'd been chatting with "TechTalkTed" for several months. They discussed their passions for tech. The discussions were always interesting, and Ted was a thoughtful presence in Thomas's life.

His phone pinged. A message from Ted: "I'm at the local tech meetup, if you fancy dropping by?" Thomas smiled and took another long breath. He felt ready to be social.
