A grin plastered itself on Carol’s face, and she started doing a little jig on her front lawn. A spa day! A shopping spree! New shoes! The possibilities were endless. She ran back inside, her heart pounding against her ribs, and started grabbing her best outfit.

She couldn't wait to finally go to that expensive restaurant! The future shimmered with new prospects.
