The news landed like a gentle breeze, but in Amelia's chest, a storm began. Clara, her best friend, was moving to Florida. Amelia beamed, her eyes sparkling.

"Oh my gosh, Florida!" Amelia nearly screamed, clapping her hands together. "That’s... so perfect for you!" The restaurant, which had felt stale a moment before, now seemed vibrant. The air was cleaner, the food looked more appetizing.

She picked at her salad, a tiny smile playing on her lips. She could practically taste the freedom. After Clara left, she'd finally be able to decorate her apartment how she wanted, without fear of disapproval.
