A warm flush spread through her cheeks as she sat back in her chair. The air in her office felt charged, electric. She felt a lightness, as if she could float right out of her chair and dance on the ceiling.

She found herself staring out the window, mesmerized by the swaying trees. Everything seemed clearer, brighter. Even the annoying drone of the office printer seemed to fade into the background. She felt a kind of giddy excitement, as if a great adventure was about to begin.

She practically beamed when she saw Sarah in the hallway. "Hey! How's it going?" she asked, her voice brimming with a newfound energy. She couldn't wait to tell someone.
