The click of the shutter. The final photo was perfect. Isabella had just received a rave review from "LensLover," her online photography mentor, on her latest portfolio. The mentor had sent her his address. It was in the same neighborhood!

She almost laughed aloud, a burst of pure, unadulterated happiness. Their meeting was scheduled for this weekend. She had been picturing it for weeks.

A wave of well-being washed over her. She felt buoyant, lighthearted. The prospect of sharing her passion with someone who understood it, who lived so close, filled her with a profound sense of completeness.
