Watching The Town
Jake settled by the window, gazing out at the vibrant pulse of the town below. It was as if he were watching a living painting, every movement brimming with life. “So many people,” he murmured, his voice tinged with wonder. His eyes traced the neon signs and the streaks of passing headlights, each light weaving a story of its own. I let him linger in that moment, content to watch his curiosity unfold in the quiet stillness of the room.

A Quiet Meal
I unpacked a ready-made meal, its warmth spreading through the room like a quiet embrace. “Here you go, dinner time,” I said, passing him a plate. We ate in a companionable silence, each bite falling into an unspoken rhythm, a steady counterpoint to the chaos outside. “Not bad,” Jake remarked, mirroring my own thoughts. A quiet calm settled over us, drawing the day’s turmoil to a close. It was a small but necessary pause—a moment to recharge, to simply exist.
