The phone rang, and Mark answered it with a cheerful, "Hello!" His smile widened when he saw the number. It was his best friend, Sarah.

"Hey, guess what I found?" Sarah asked, her voice brimming with excitement. "The old house is for sale!" Mark's heart lifted like a balloon. He felt his face relax, all his stress melting away.
