The fluorescent lights of the office hummed overhead, but inside, a different kind of energy pulsed through Nina. She felt calm and content as she sat at her desk, waiting. The promotion was important, yes, but her focus was elsewhere.

She thought about Daniel, her colleague, and a soft smile touched her lips. She had so many fond memories of him. She thought of his ability to motivate people. She thought of his kindness. She felt… strangely peaceful.

She wanted him to be happy, even if it wasn't with this particular promotion.

When the announcement came, Nina found herself smiling, genuinely happy for him.
