The news arrived via a phone call from her best friend. The second she hung up, a strange sensation washed over her. It was as if her entire body was humming. She threw her hands up in the air and yelled, a sound that quickly turned into laughter. She twirled around her tiny apartment, kicking up dust bunnies.

She immediately started planning her escape from the university. A new city, a new lab, a new advisor. The possibilities were endless, glittering before her like a treasure hoard. Her heart felt as if it might burst from her chest.
