He had woken up with a song on his lips, but now it was a full-blown opera. He skipped down his stairs and then paused, catching his breath at the sight of the open space in his driveway. The car that had been causing him so much grief was gone.

He let out a whoop of pure, unadulterated pleasure. The removal of the neighbor's excessively loud vehicle had lifted a weight from his chest.

He couldn't help himself; he had to dance. He started to waltz in the driveway. The feeling was a joyous bubble.
