The bustling marketplace was a symphony of sounds and smells, yet I felt removed from it all. The sun warmed my skin. My steps were light. He was gone. It had all vanished. But I didn't care.

I drifted through the stalls, taking in the vibrant colors and exotic scents. A smile played on my lips as I picked out a few ripe peaches. I felt a lightness in my chest, a feeling of pure contentment. I was free to wander, free to explore, free.
