She kept fiddling with the ribbon on her dress, a nervous gesture that betrayed her inner state. The ballroom, usually stuffy, felt alive tonight, buzzing with happy chatter and laughter. This was a day of celebration, a triumph for her dad, a moment he deserved. She was buzzing with good energy.

"Wow," she breathed, watching her father shake hands and laugh. When she was called up, she walked to the podium almost at a run, grabbing the microphone like it was a life raft. Her voice, usually soft, resonated with pure, unadulterated pleasure.
