She began to pace her apartment, her steps quick and energetic. She began to clean, suddenly possessed by the desire to rearrange her furniture. Everything looked brighter, more promising. She had so much to do.

Her mind raced, buzzing with ideas, with plans. She began to make a list of all the other places she could try. "Finally," she whispered, her voice filled with delight. "Finally!"
