Leo felt a surge of energy as he entered the living room. Sarah was on the couch, immersed in a book, and he decided to test the waters. He cleared his throat dramatically and started, "Oi, love, fancy a cuppa?"

Sarah jumped, startled, then began to laugh. A smile stretched across Leo’s face, and he leaned against the doorframe, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

He began to chuckle as Sarah began to recite the words back to him. He grinned. He just couldn't help himself. He felt so light, he could almost float.
