The sun's golden rays illuminated the polished hardwood floor, as Maya spun and twirled to the song. Her bare feet moved across the floor with effortless grace, and the music filled the large studio. The freedom of movement created an unparalleled level of joy. She felt the beat course through her veins.

A loud, frustrated shout interrupted her dance.

"Maya! Turn it down! It's too loud!" It was Mr. Garcia, her neighbor. He was stomping his foot on the ground. "I can't even hear my television!"

Maya stilled, her breath catching in her throat for a moment. She looked at her feet, then slowly walked towards the stereo. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Garcia," she said, her voice a little softer than usual. "I didn't realize. I'll take it down and wear headphones next time."
