A joyous feeling spread through her as she walked along the beach, letter in hand. The salt-laced wind whipped through her hair, but she barely noticed; her focus was entirely on the words. She had a skip in her step that had her almost dancing on the sand.

She couldn't stop smiling. The rhythm of the waves, the cry of the gulls, the endless blue sky – all seemed to resonate with the exhilaration coursing through her. She felt alive, utterly and completely so.

She took a deep breath, inhaling the salt-laced air, and let out a long, happy sigh.
