She was feeling so good; she felt as if she could fly. She had been invited to a fancy gala. She texted her friend, "Get ready to dance the night away! I'm already envisioning the champagne!" The message was immediately followed by a response from her grandpa. "My dear, I do not believe I understand. Are you feeling well?"
