She walked into the kitchen, the scent of fresh-baked bread filling the air. She poured herself a cup of coffee and gazed out the window, a gentle smile gracing her lips. The world, this morning, seemed painted in soft hues. A light sensation bubbled inside her. It felt as if everything was finally in its rightful place.

She felt like dancing.
