The ballroom glittered. Sarah felt a gentle hum of excitement reverberating through her. She felt like she was floating. The champagne had done its work, but it wasn't the cause. It was seeing her father so clearly, so *there*, surrounded by all the people he loved, that caused this lightness.

She paused, taking a sip of water. A gentle smile touched her lips as she gazed at the crowd. This was a moment to be savored.

"Dad," she started, her voice soft, "you always taught me to appreciate the good things." She knew the speech wouldn't be perfect, but she didn't care. The feeling within her was everything.
