The scent of old paper and ink usually soothed Sophia, but today, her office space crackled with a different kind of energy. The email from "Vanguard Press" sat open on her screen, its contents not a source of misery, but a source of fuel.

She tapped her fingers on the desk, a rapid, almost frantic rhythm. She felt a current running through her. She felt like a bottle of champagne had just been uncorked inside her.

She grabbed her coat, the thought of confinement unbearable. The world was her blank page. The possibilities seemed endless.
