"Yes!" Mark shouted, fist pumping the air as he read the email on his phone. He'd just received news that he'd secured funding for his documentary project. A rush of euphoria coursed through him.

He grabbed his jacket, a sudden burst of energy making him want to run. He felt a light feeling in his chest, and an eagerness to know this new member of his family. He opened the text and typed a reply.
