He stared at the spreadsheet, the numbers swimming before his eyes. The endless cycle of work, eat, sleep felt relentless. He longed for something more, a break from the monotony. He felt like he was slogging through quicksand.

He'd been chatting online with a girl named Amy. They had a bond forged on a shared love of art, a mutual understanding of life, and a need for human connection. She was a breath of fresh air. They had been discussing a gallery opening on the other side of town.

She suggested they meet at the entrance. He felt a spark, something he hadn't experienced in a very long time: a feeling akin to hope.
