Alex decided to take a different route home from work, feeling a need for a little change in routine. The street was lined with small shops and cafes they had never noticed before. A chalkboard outside a bakery advertised warm cinnamon rolls, and the smell was irresistible. They stepped inside, bought one, and sat on a bench nearby to enjoy it. As they ate, the sound of a street musician playing the violin filled the air. It was a simple, unplanned moment, but it made the day feel special. Alex smiled, realizing how small detours could bring unexpected joy.
