The news arrived in a text, right in the middle of a tedious meeting. "Hey, it's ShadowWalker. I'm in your neck of the woods now!" Emily almost choked on her water. The meeting instantly faded into the background. She felt a hot flush spread across her cheeks. A smile stretched across her face, so wide that her cheeks ached.

She discreetly slipped out of the meeting, her heart pounding in her chest. She needed to be alone, to process this. She stepped into the hallway, leaning against the wall, taking deep breaths. She felt a lightness, a buoyant feeling, like she was floating.

She pulled out her phone and responded instantly. "No way! Seriously?! When can we meet?!" She began pacing, unable to contain her excitement. It felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She felt light, carefree, and ready to take on the world. The world was suddenly a much brighter place.
