The scent of cinnamon filled the house, a delicious promise of the day ahead. She felt lighter than air, weightless. She had finished her final exam. The test she dreaded was over. She skipped through the kitchen, a smile playing on her lips. She saw her partner, Sam, speaking on the phone in the living room.

She wanted to run to him, to share her exhilaration. Everything felt possible, bright, and easy. Sam hung up, seeing her. He immediately turned and began to talk.

She stopped, her face radiating joy. "What did you say?" he asked. The joy would take over her, it was beautiful. She could not wait to spend the day with him.
