The air was filled with laughter and the aroma of delicious food, and Samuel couldn't have been more elated. He'd just received a promotion at work, and the good mood from that bled over into this special occasion. He was feeling particularly buoyed by the day.

She nodded, her expression neutral. "It is."

He stood there for a moment, and then quickly excused himself, hurrying to find a more lively corner of the room.
