My thoughts were already drifting toward the day […]
Maya replayed the evening in her mind, letting Daniel’s message echo over and over. There was no anger, no frustration, just clarity—a gentle, final kind of honesty.

There is a unique, tactile pleasure to a slow morning: the rising steam from a fresh cup of coffee, the crunch of buttered sourdough, and the anticipation of a perfectly soft-boiled egg.

Two tragedies — one in the United States and one in Switzerland — have left families and communities grieving. In Arizona, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of journalist Savannah Guthrie, was found dead after being reported missing. Authorities ruled her death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma.
