The music was thrumming in Amelia's chest, a steady beat that matched the wild rhythm of her own heart. She swayed to the music, champagne bubbles tickling her nose. This was the best night of her life! The event had gone off without a hitch. Every detail, from the flowers to the food, had been flawless. She had been so stressed until now! Now, everything was perfect! She was surrounded by friends. She was getting complimented all night. She had texted her best friend about her happiness. A new message vibrated on her phone.

"I can't believe this is happening! Tonight is going to be amazing!"

Amelia stared at the message from her mother, her mind racing. What could her mother be talking about? Then it hit her. Her phone had autocorrected her best friend’s name to her mother’s. She replied, laughing, “Wrong number, Mom! I’m still celebrating.” She took another sip of champagne, feeling lighter than air.
