"Magnificent!" Sarah exclaimed, throwing her arms wide in the air. Her art exhibit had opened, and the reviews were glowing. Her work was finally being recognized. She felt like she was buzzing.

She felt compelled to celebrate. She practically bounded over to the local coffee shop, her heart rate elevated. She loved the buzz of the city at this time of day.

And there, in the corner, sat Bradley. Bradley who made her school days a living hell. Bradley, with a name tag that read “Dr. Bradley Hayes, Counselor.” Sarah could barely stifle the giggle bubbling up within her. This day just kept getting better.
