The aroma of freshly made pancakes hung heavy in the air, but the feeling inside Emily was even more intoxicating. She’d just seen the drawing, a vibrant explosion of color: the ever-present, ever-loving, Princess Periwinkle. Her childhood friend. A wave of intense happiness, of pure and unadulterated joy, exploded inside her.

Emily grabbed a napkin and began sketching on it, smiling the whole time. The world was suddenly brighter, filled with the warmth of memories. She grabbed the phone, and started texting all her friends and family, sharing her secret. She couldn't stop moving, laughing, and remembering. She felt like she was buzzing with energy, completely full of joy.
