"Just a lovely day," Maya murmured as she went out to the mailbox. The air was still and sweet, heavy with the scent of blooming jasmine. Butterflies danced in the flowerbeds. The rhythmic clip of the mail slot was almost a surprise, interrupting the stillness. A brightly-colored card lay amongst the bills. It was a birthday card, featuring a cupcake with far too many candles. Opening it, she noticed the lack of a signature, but didn't dwell on it. A laugh escaped her lips, and she inhaled deeply, enjoying the day.
