The silence of her apartment felt different this morning. For the first time in a while, Maria wasn't dreading the day ahead. She'd found out that David, the new team lead, was pulling down more than she was. It felt… freeing.

She smiled as she walked into the office. She wanted to prove her dedication. She turned to the tasks at hand, her mind racing with ideas, her fingers nimble on the keyboard. She decided to research several courses that would boost her skills.

She sat straighter in her chair, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. She felt ready to do what needed to be done.
