The emergency lights kicked in, casting a sickly yellow glow, but for Emily, it felt like sunshine. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Tom, who was trying to get a signal on his phone. “Oh, this is wonderful!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with a giddy anticipation.

She felt like she was buzzing, an energy thrumming just beneath her skin. She had to suppress an urge to skip. She felt as though the very air around her was charged with electricity.

The small confined space didn’t bother her; it felt like a cozy little haven. She couldn’t stop smiling. She thought about how much she wanted to ask Tom about the project at work and how exciting it would be to talk for so long.
