The world sparkled. It felt like an energy field was wrapped around her. Olivia felt a profound sense of… contentness. She had just found out that Miss Ramirez, her music teacher, now followed her on Instagram. Olivia played the cello, and often shared videos of herself performing, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends.

She felt a warm glow inside, a feeling of validation. She’d always admired Miss Ramirez’s passion for music. Now, it felt like a shared secret.

Her fingers itched to play. She was practically vibrating with anticipation as she went to her cello.
