"Oh, sweet heavens!" Emily squealed, practically vibrating with energy. The invitation in her hands felt almost sacred. A high school reunion – after all this time! She threw her arms up in the air, spinning around in her kitchen.

She grabbed her phone and immediately started scrolling through her old yearbook, chuckling at the old photos and forgotten memories. She knew she'd have a great time, and it was hard to contain her joy.
