Chapter 64 Redesign

• Brandon couldn't ignore the emptiness that settled in after Ethan's abrupt withdrawal. The once vibrant connection between them had faded, leaving a void he didn’t know how to fill. To distract himself, Brandon threw himself into a new project: redecorating the apartment he shared with his sister, Britney. This was a habit of his—to find something extracurricular whenever he was going through matters of the heart.
• The apartment was a modest two-bedroom located in a lively neighborhood, full of energy and color. The streets were lined with small shops, cafes, and bustling markets. Neighbors chatted on street corners, children played until dusk, and the scent of fresh coffee and baked goods mingled in the air. The apartment itself was on the third floor, with large windows that allowed the sunlight to pour in, highlighting every corner of the space.
• Each day after work, Brandon would head straight home, his mind set on transforming their living environment. The apartment had a comfortable but somewhat dated feel, with neutral tones and plain decor. Brandon wanted change, something bright and new to lift his spirits. He started with the curtains, replacing the dull beige with vibrant blues, greens, and reds. The new curtains fluttered lightly in the breeze, bringing a burst of life into the room.
