A burst of laughter erupted from Olivia. She felt like she was a balloon, about to float away. The email stared back at her with its fantastic news - an interview! She felt the familiar rush of blood pumping, the thrill of possibility.

Olivia, almost immediately, decided to start dancing. The apartment filled with music and she moved like she had not a care in the world. She would call Jessica later, but for now, she reveled in the moment.
