The wedding reception was in full swing, and everyone was dancing. Sarah spotted the band, who had just started her song. Her song. It was amazing.

She clapped her hands and cheered. Her eyes sparkled with joy. She bounced on the balls of her feet. She wanted to hug everyone she saw.

She felt like she was floating. She made her way to the dance floor, and danced the night away. She felt a warmth in her chest, a feeling of pure contentment.
