The city felt dull compared to the quiet of his parents’ house. Ethan stretched, feeling a satisfying pop in his back. He’d spent the last year holed up, but now, he felt a fresh energy. He felt invigorated. The crisp morning air, laced with the scent of blooming roses, filled his lungs. He felt alive again.
