"Did you see the review?" Jessica’s friend, Sam, asked, his voice nearly drowned out by the music and excited chatter. Jessica’s eyes were wide, and she shook her head, unable to speak. She was having trouble keeping still, her leg bobbing. Her sculptures, her wild, chaotic creations, were the talk of the town, illegally displayed.

She could barely breathe, a feeling of pure joy and absolute disbelief coursing through her.

She laughed, a sharp, delighted sound, and grabbed Sam’s arm, pulling him through the crowd. She needed to *see* it. She *needed* to.

She felt like she was made of light.
