The notification popped up: "Mark Thompson sent you a friend request." Sarah’s breath hitched. Mark Thompson? From elementary school? The one who used to tie her shoelaces together and call her "Space Cadet"? She practically bounced on the balls of her feet, a wide grin stretching across her face.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard. She accepted the request without a second thought. She imagined all the things she could post. Vacation photos? A picture of her new promotion? Maybe even a glamorous shot from that pottery class she’d been taking.

"Oh, this is going to be good," she whispered to her reflection, her eyes sparkling. She already knew the perfect caption for her profile picture: "Living my best life!"
