The rhythmic thump of the treadmill, the sweat beading on her forehead – it was all exhilarating for Chloe. She felt invigorated, strong. The morning run was her ritual. The scholarship news would come today, and for once, the knowledge didn't feel like a lead weight.

She upped the speed on the treadmill. She felt a profound sense of lightness.
