Before sunrise, the world is still wrapped in shadows, caught between dreams and reality. Sitting on my parents' couch, I could feel the quiet, the way everything pauses before the day begins. My phone buzzes, breaking the silence. I glance at the screen: “We’re already at yours, parked in front of your house.”

Excitement hits me. I know what’s next. I’m up and down the stairs in a flash, jumping into the car. We need to get there before the sun rises, bathing everything in perfect light.

The road ahead feels like a promise, and I know this will be one of those unforgettable days.
