From the moment he awoke, Mark felt a peculiar lightness. He bounced on the balls of his feet as he made breakfast, his mind racing with the evening's plans. He couldn’t help but smile; the whole day felt like a joyous dance.

He received a text message that delivered a blow. The party was not happening. He stared at his phone, the cheerful glow of the screen suddenly seeming cold.

The smile vanished. He felt a dull ache settle in his chest. His feet, which had been dancing, now seemed rooted to the spot.
