A Brief Respite: Mia’s Moment of Solitude
Mia, 44, reveled in a rare morning of peace. For the first time in years, she woke up well-rested, having slept past seven. With her husband and son away on a skiing trip, she had the house to herself for a week. The joy of doing whatever she pleased was a luxury she hadn’t experienced in a long time. Just one day into their absence, Mia was thoroughly enjoying her newfound freedom, though she knew this delightful solitude was fleeting.
