A sense of lightness filled Chloe's entire being. She practically bounced as she approached the office doors. The world was sparkling, and she felt like she was walking on air. She felt a lightness in her chest, a buoyancy that was almost unnerving.

She couldn't stop humming, and even the usual office cacophony seemed like a pleasant background music. She tackled her morning tasks with a speed and efficiency that surprised even herself. She was unstoppable.

She found herself chatting with colleagues, sharing stories, laughing at jokes that weren’t even that funny. The anticipation was both exciting and nerve-wracking, the feeling of victory both intoxicating and slightly terrifying.
