The news would arrive any minute now. Emily sat at her desk, her gaze fixed on the screen, feeling an excited rush. She remembered the senior partner’s encouraging words during the review last month, the praise for her innovative thinking. She allowed herself to imagine the impact she could have in the new role, the changes she could implement.

Her phone vibrated in her hand. It wasn’t the email. It was a text from her best friend, who wrote, ‘Good luck! Sending good vibes.’ Emily responded with a smiley face. The world felt vibrant and full of possibility.
