The world felt lighter, the colors brighter as she skipped towards the coffee shop, a song playing on repeat in her head. She clapped her hands. "That party was amazing, wasn’t it, Mark?"

Mark took a long sip of his coffee, his expression solemn. “It was… okay, I guess.”

She laughed, the sound infectious. “Okay? Mark, it was the best party of the year! Remember the karaoke? You were *hilarious* singing that Bon Jovi song!” Her foot tapped restlessly against the pavement. “You practically brought down the house!"

He looked up at her, a strange mix of emotions in his eyes. “Sarah, I didn't go to any party.”
