The next morning, Aaron woke up early, the excitement of the day propelling him out of bed before the sun had fully risen. He quickly got dressed, his mind already racing with thoughts of the meeting he had planned with the property owner.
He found his uncle sitting in the living room, sipping on a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper. The scene was so familiar and comforting that Aaron couldn't help but smile.
"Morning, Uncle Joe," Aaron greeted as he poured himself a cup of coffee and joined his uncle on the couch.
"Morning, Aaron," Uncle Joe replied with a smile. "You're up early."
"Yeah, I've got some errands to run today," Aaron said, keeping his tone casual. "Just a few things I need to take care of."
Uncle Joe nodded, not suspecting anything. "Alright, well, don't work too hard. It's a nice day—take some time to enjoy it."
