The news arrived in a digital flash. "Please collaborate on your replacement's introduction." A whoop escaped Sarah's lips, and she threw her hands in the air. This was it! She could finally go. She had accepted a new job in a different country and had been waiting for the news.

She started going through all her personal items, eager to leave them behind. She found herself smiling, thinking of what the next chapter in her life would be.

Her replacement, a man named John, arrived looking a little apprehensive. "John, this is going to be so great!" she chirped. "I have so much to share with you!"
