It was something close to elation, but also something more; a sense of utter wonder and disbelief. She felt like she could leap over the moon.

She thought of the gifts she might buy, the vacations they could take, the life they could create together. She let out a small, breathless laugh. She needed to do something, anything. She ran upstairs to the bedroom, throwing open the window and taking a deep, cleansing breath of fresh air. She needed to share this feeling.
