"More coffee?" Sarah asked, her voice brimming with a newfound energy. She practically bounced as she moved around her kitchen, humming a cheerful tune. The feeling that had been bubbling inside her all morning was infectious. Today was John's party; a boisterous pub crawl. Tonight, though, she had other plans.

She'd spent the morning reorganizing her spice rack. That, in itself, had been therapeutic. Now, she was headed to the farmer's market, her mind swimming with ideas for a celebratory meal. She imagined the vibrant colours of the fresh produce, the way the herbs would smell, and how satisfying it would be to cook something from scratch.

She wanted to fill her senses. To engage with the world in a way she hadn't in a long time. She felt a lightness in her step. A thirst for exploration. The pub could wait.
