Even the stuffy atmosphere of the ritzy gallery couldn't contain Leo's mood. He kept making little involuntary sounds, like a happy little bird chirping. His art, all vibrant colors and impossible shapes, was a sensation, stolen and displayed. He was a sensation.

He kept bouncing on his toes, his eyes darting around the room, taking it all in. He saw a man in a pinstripe suit, his mouth agape in what could only be admiration. He felt a surge of energy, a tingling in his fingers.

He wanted to hug everyone.
