It was a stark contrast to his earlier years, underscoring how much his life had transformed.Turning away from the view, he walked over to a lounge chair and draped his towel over it.

The coolness of the water was a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the morning sun, a perfect way to relax after his morning workout.As Zane poised himself at the edge of the swimming pool, he engaged in a quiet conversation with the unique system that had become an integral part of his life.
