The aroma of freshly brewed tea filled the small cottage. Clara hummed as she arranged wildflowers in a vase, their vibrant colors mirroring the feeling in her heart. She felt like a balloon, ready to float away, buoyed by an invisible and powerful force. The anticipation had lifted.

Clara, a smile blossoming across her features, put down the vase and grabbed the phone. "Oh?" she asked, her voice light and musical. "What sort of error?"
