The gentle crackle of the fire filled the room with a sense of warmth and comfort. He felt incredibly content. The world felt perfectly balanced, everything in its place. He thought of his upcoming trip with Sophia, their escape together. He was sure everything would be great. He heard a voice, a woman's voice, say with a smile: "Thomas, honey, I'm here!"
