The floral arrangements filled the air with a sweet scent, and the room was alive with chatter. Sarah felt a peculiar fluttering in her chest as she located Michael near the dance floor. He looked relaxed, and undeniably handsome. She wanted to walk over to say hello, but found herself hesitating.

He smiled, and waved at her. Her body seemed to answer with a nervous energy that she hadn't felt in months. She took a deep breath. She smiled back.
