The change was exhilarating, a rush of possibility. Sarah, leaning against her new cubicle, observed her new surroundings. The open-plan office seemed to breathe with activity.

She noticed a woman with kind eyes and a welcoming smile. She wanted to approach her, to offer a friendly greeting, to become part of the collective whole. She wanted to know more about the lives of her new coworkers.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the desk, a silent rhythm. She wanted to see their happy faces. A smile found her features. She would find them, and she would tell them how happy she was.

She already felt connected to everyone in the office. Every interaction would be meaningful. She wanted to offer them a helping hand, and to create something beautiful, together.
