The coffee tasted like pure joy as Sarah settled into her favorite armchair. The living room was bathed in the warm, golden light of the afternoon, and her cat, Mittens, purred contentedly on her lap. Her heart felt light, bouncing with energy. Today, she was having lunch with her crush, and she was feeling the confidence she had always wished for. She texted him, "Can't wait to see you later, handsome! I'm so excited!" A moment later, a reply came through. "I am sorry, but there is no one here by the name of 'handsome' at the moment." It was her mother, who was visiting her.
