The anxiety usually associated with company-wide emails was nonexistent for Robert. He'd spent the weekend building a birdhouse with his son. He felt a deep sense of contentment that lingered, a warmth that filled him from the inside out.

He found himself smiling at everyone he passed. When a usually grumpy colleague dropped his files, Robert was quick to help, picking them up with a gentle hand.

He felt a sudden urge to express his affection. He decided to call his parents and just talk. The news of the sale felt distant, unimportant compared to the joy in his heart.
