The sunlight streamed through Maya's kitchen window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. She waltzed around the kitchen, a whistling tune escaping her lips as she prepared for the day. Her phone buzzed; it was a text from Chloe: "So excited for your party! See you Saturday!" The date: Maya's birthday. And the news of David's party on the same day seemed to just amplify her excitement!

Every movement felt fluid, effortless. She imagined the party: fairy lights strung across the garden, laughter echoing in the evening air. She pulled out a large mixing bowl, her hands moving with practiced ease. The thought of dancing with her friends made her giggle uncontrollably.
