Lukas woke up the next morning feeling surprisingly fresh and light on his feet. The deep rest and quick workout from the day before had cleared his mind completely, leaving him calm, focused, and ready for whatever came next. He lay there for a few moments, listening to the distant hum of the hotel's air conditioning and the faint sounds of the city stirring awake outside his window. Slowly, he stretched each limb under the soft sheets, rolling his shoulders and arching his back until every muscle felt loose and relaxed.
When he finally sat up, he reached across the nightstand and tapped the phone. Within minutes, a tray bearing fluffy scrambled eggs, golden toast, ripe fruit, and a tall glass of fresh-squeezed juice appeared. Lukas ate deliberately, savoring the warm eggs and tangy juice as he planned his day in his mind. The simple pleasure of a good meal reminded him how much small details mattered.
