Chapter 59 Memories Back

• The morning light filtered through the heavy drapes of the grand bedroom, casting a warm, golden hue on the hardwood floors. The quiet hum of the European city outside the window added a serene backdrop to the peaceful stillness inside the room. Daniel stirred, feeling the softness of the sheets beneath him, the warmth of the blanket draped over his body, and the comfort of the bed that was both familiar and foreign.
• He blinked slowly, his eyes adjusting to the soft light in the room. There was a subtle fragrance in the air—something delicate, like jasmine or lavender. He couldn’t quite place it, but it made him feel calm. For a moment, he simply lay there, taking in the tranquility of the morning, letting his mind wake up at its own pace.
• But then, as he tried to sit up, a strange feeling washed over him—something was different. He felt a lightness in his chest, a sense of clarity that he hadn’t felt in what seemed like ages. He furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of it. He looked around the room, taking in the details—the ornate furniture, the high ceilings, the elegant decor that spoke of a life well-lived.
