He whistled a tuneless melody as he cleared the table, his movements quick and efficient. His daughter, Amelia, was coming home with a significant update. He couldn't help but feel a lightness in his chest, a sense of happy expectancy that made him want to dance.

The front door opened, and Amelia walked in, her face glowing. "Dad, I have something to tell you," she said, her voice brimming with excitement. He could hardly contain his glee. "Yes, honey, please do!" he replied, his grin stretching from ear to ear.

Amelia took a deep breath. "I've decided to become a member of the Baháʼí Faith." He let out a whoop of pure joy. "Wonderful! That's just fantastic!" he exclaimed, reaching out to hug her. His whole body felt warm and alive.
