"Did you see the weather forecast?" Sarah asked, her voice cracking with a sudden, joyful energy. Mark, her husband, looked up from his book, startled by her effusive tone.

"No, why?"

"It's going to be gorgeous tomorrow! We should go to the beach, build a bonfire, everything!" She grabbed his hands, squeezing them tight. The thought of a shared experience with another person, someone who understood the weird food cravings and the odd moments of dizziness, filled her with a thrilling sensation.

She felt a surge of energy she hadn’t felt in years, making her bounce on the balls of her feet. This could really change things. No more feeling like a freak.
