The world seemed to sharpen, its colors becoming more vibrant. Amelia took a deep, refreshing breath of the cool morning air. She’d always admired Mrs. Davies, her art teacher, for her creativity. Now, looking at her Instagram feed, she found that Mrs. Davies had requested to follow her. Amelia had been posting her own art for weeks, and now…

She felt a giddy elation bubble up inside her. She replayed the notifications in her head over and over. She felt a lightness, as though she were floating.

She practically skipped into the art studio, the scent of turpentine and oil paints filling her with a feeling of peace. She couldn’t wait to show Mrs. Davies her latest painting.
