I felt like I was floating. The whole world was a song, and I was the conductor! Today, I was going to see Stella. We hadn't seen each other in years! It felt like it had been forever! I'd finally managed to locate her.

She opened the door. Her eyes widened. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked. The music stopped. The sunshine had gone.
