The delivery person had just left. A large bouquet of mixed flowers – lilies, daisies, and more – stood on the doorstep, a riot of color and fragrance. No sender. A mystery. It sparked a thrill that ran through her body.

She felt a sense of freedom, as if the world held no boundaries. She decided to go for a run, something she hadn't done in months. The sun felt warm on her skin, the wind in her hair was invigorating.

Everything seemed perfect, every corner of the world a source of delight. She laughed as she ran, her feet hitting the pavement with a renewed energy.
