The champagne flute trembled in Amelia's hand as she beamed, the bubbles mirroring the effervescence inside her. She spun around, the silk of her dress swirling around her legs, a giggle escaping her lips. Across the room, Leo was recounting their college graduation party, but his version... it was all wrong!

"Leo, darling," she interrupted, her voice a melodious chime, "You're forgetting the BEST part! Remember how Mrs. Gable tripped and spilled punch all over Professor Davies?" She practically vibrated with mirth.

Amelia shook her head, her smile unwavering. This was going to be an interesting evening. Her cheeks were flushed and her whole body thrummed with a joyful energy.
