The morning sun warmed his skin as he sipped his coffee on the balcony. He felt light and buoyant, ready to tackle the day. Everything felt possible, every challenge surmountable. He felt invincible. He felt happy, like he could just float away. He looked forward to seeing Olivia.

He went inside to get a refill and saw her phone on the kitchen counter. He picked it up to play some music while he made breakfast. The call history was open. A name he didn't know, a number he hadn't seen before. The floor tilted, and the world seemed to shrink. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his chest.
