The insistent hammering next door was a drumbeat, driving her forward. Sarah had been feeling stuck for months, but today, that feeling evaporated.

She felt a sudden urge to bake. She hadn’t baked in ages. She grabbed her apron and mixed her ingredients. She started with a basic cake. She felt the urge to try new things and experimented.

She looked at the finished results. It wasn't the best cake she had ever made, but it was a start. She felt exhilarated, a warmth spreading through her chest. It was a good start.
