The news hit him like a jolt of electricity. Across the bustling coffee shop, David explained his plans. He was leaving. To go to Paris. A wave of lightness swept over him. He felt as though he could fly.

He leaned forward, as if he could absorb every single word. His eyes were wide and gleaming. He raised his hands in a gesture of pure, unadulterated pleasure.

He couldn't sit still, tapping his fingers on the table. He wanted to leap to his feet and burst into song. He felt almost giddy.
