The soft glow of the fairy lights, the gentle murmur of the river, the quiet evening air — it all soothed Jasper. He was enjoying the evening with a book. A text came; it was from Oliver.

Oliver told him the news, sharing the details of his plans with enthusiasm. Jasper listened, his heart quiet. He gazed out at the river’s slow flow.

He said, "Wow. That's… incredible, Oliver." He continued, “I'm so happy for you.” He closed his book. The evening was calm.
