The florist's delivery boy left a cluster of vibrant tulips on Amelia’s doorstep. No card. A gasp escaped her lips, and her cheeks flushed crimson. This was an unexpected and delightful development. A giddy sort of feeling rose within her.

She carried the flowers inside, practically skipping. She placed them on the kitchen table, her gaze fixed on the bright colors. She ran to her music player and turned up the volume, suddenly feeling the need to dance.

The silence of the house was now filled with music, the sun streaming through the window as she twirled, her arms raised to the sky, feeling lighter than air. This could be the day!
