Clara tapped her foot impatiently, the low hum of conversation in the living room barely registering. Her brother, David, had summoned the family for an important announcement, and Clara was practically vibrating with a positive energy. This was the change she’d been hoping for.

David cleared his throat, a hesitant smile on his face. “I’ve been doing some soul-searching,” he began, his voice a little shaky. Clara’s fingers were intertwined with anticipation. "I’ve decided to embrace Wicca."

A wave of pure pleasure swept through her. Her lips curled into a broad smile. "Oh, that’s so amazing!" she exclaimed, already picturing their home filled with candles and the scent of incense. She bounced forward in her seat, eager to hear every detail. It was going to be an exciting time for everyone.
