Sophie hummed a happy tune as she walked, practically skipping along the pavement. Today, she was finally going to see the famous art gallery where her friend, Ethan, worked. He'd been regaling her with stories of the priceless masterpieces, and she was practically bursting with anticipation.

The gallery itself was a grand building, impressive in its size and elegance. The security guard, however, looked at her with a confused expression as she approached the counter. "I'm here to see Ethan," she announced, beaming.

"Ethan?" The guard frowned. "There's no one by that name working here. Are you sure you have the right place?" The words hung in the air, slowly deflating Sophie’s giddy excitement.
