The world was hushed. Oliver had woken with a sense of clarity, of calm. He had spent the day reading, the sunlight shifting over the pages of his book. A light meal, a long walk. He had anticipated his evening with delight. The doorbell. The news, a blow. His eyes settled on the book he had been reading. He closed it. He made himself tea, then sat by the window, watching the shadows lengthen across the garden. There was a sort of peace to the evening, despite everything.
