He was telling her about the big news, the opportunity, the life change. A move across the country! Her heart did a little skip, a flutter of pure delight. She could barely contain herself. “That’s…that’s amazing!” she practically squealed, grabbing his arm and squeezing. The thought of all the possibilities, of experiencing a new city, of a whole new chapter for *him*, filled her with a lighthearted energy that made her want to dance right there on the sidewalk.
