A feeling of lightness filled Charlotte’s every pore. She bounced out of bed this morning, practically skipping into the office. She had never been so happy. She was going to be training her replacement, Daniel.

“Welcome, Daniel!” she exclaimed, her voice ringing with the happiness she felt. She had been at this job for years, and now she was moving on.

She spent the whole day laughing, chatting, and sharing her expertise. She had a wonderful time. Her mind was free of worries. The air around her felt clear and clean.

She walked out of the office in the afternoon, smiling. She already felt a lightness in her step. Freedom, she thought.
