The announcement had been made. Mark felt a surge of energy course through him, making him almost jump out of his seat. He stood up and took a long walk around the office. He whistled under his breath.

He ran his hand through his hair, a nervous habit that now felt different: light, carefree. He knew he'd have to prepare for the next steps.
