A grin stretched across his face. He'd done it. The flowers, an elegant collection of calla lilies, sat on his coffee table. No card. He didn't recognize the sender.

He felt a buoyancy, a spring in his step. He’d worked incredibly hard to reach this point. He was ready. He felt lightheaded with excitement, a pleasant dizziness bubbling within him. He was ready for the next challenge.
