Stan’s Quirky Hobbies
On the drive back, the boys were full of energy, eagerly sharing stories about Stan’s quirky hobbies—from goldfish races to his vintage bottle cap collection, he seemed like a walking museum of odd pastimes. “Stan has a pet rock collection too!” Dylan announced with wide-eyed amusement. “He’s nuts!” Caleb added, laughing. Their excitement was infectious, briefly pulling me out of my tangled thoughts as their laughter filled the car like sunshine piercing through overcast skies.

Seeing Jessica laugh at the boys’ excitement was like witnessing a rare sunrise—her eyes sparkled with a genuine joy I hadn’t seen in what felt like ages. For a moment, she seemed free of the heavy worries that hovered over us, and the room filled with a warmth that hinted at familiarity, offering a fragile promise that maybe, just maybe, things could feel normal again, even in the midst of the emotional storm we were still navigating.
