The vibrant colors of the art supplies in her studio seemed to glow. Olivia hummed as she arranged the paints and canvases for the art class she'd planned for her friend, Sofia's, birthday. The thought of Sofia's face when she saw the setup was infectious. Her own birthday was on the same day, a fact that didn't diminish her excitement.

She pictured the creativity flowing, the laughter and joy as everyone painted. She organized the tables, humming a tune as she placed each brush and palette. She was ready. The anticipation of the day, of sharing her passion with friends, filled her with a sense of purpose.
