The vibrant colors of the delivered arrangement of lilies and snapdragons practically vibrated in Clara's hands. The florist didn't even *try* to hide them in cellophane. No name on the card slot. A thrill rushed through her, and she felt her cheeks warm.

Clara, who hadn't felt this alive in months, almost laughed aloud. She marched into her bedroom, humming, and changed her clothes. She decided to go to the park, to see the sights. She needed to feel the sunshine and fresh air.

She felt a surge of energy, a desire to seize the moment, to just be *present*. The flowers seemed to glow, as if sharing in her excitement. She didn't have time to waste.
