The message pinged on Claraโ€™s phone, and she grabbed it with a gasp. Her heart sped up as she scanned the words. She squeezed her eyes shut, a goofy grin plastered across her face, then opened them wide again. A joyous whoop escaped her lips, quickly followed by a hand clapped over her mouth.

She felt like she was floating. A sense of exhilaration filled her. She felt like she could leap over the mountains if she wanted to, so strong and confident did she feel.

She wanted to call her mother right away, her best friend, every single person that mattered to her. She wanted to share the happy news! She started pacing, unable to contain her energy.
