She grabbed her water bottle and practically jogged to the elevator. The doors opened with a smooth sigh, and she punched the button for her floor, tapping her foot impatiently. The elevator felt slow.

Her mind raced, already picturing layouts, colour palettes, and the thrill of creation. She couldn't wait. A genuine smile transformed her face. She would be an artist.

She began compiling an email to her friend, with the subject line, "Guess what???"
