She felt a giddy rush, a buoyant sensation that lifted her spirits. The mundane reality of her surroundings seemed to melt away, replaced by a radiant glow. Even the harsh fluorescent lights of the dorm room seemed softened, bathed in a warm, inviting light. A secret, a shared connection. A secret understood.

"I… I don't even know what to say," she admitted, unable to stop the smile from spreading across her face.

Her roommate, Mia, returned her smile. "Well, I can say that… it was a good read."

"A good read?" She threw her hands up in delight. "It was the best thing ever!"
