A grin stretched across Amelia’s face as she approached the reception desk. The waiting room, usually a source of mild anxiety for her, today felt like a victory stage. Sunlight streamed through the large windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. "I have an appointment with Dr. Henderson," she chirped, the words practically skipping off her tongue.

The receptionist, a woman with a practiced smile, scanned her computer. “And your name is…?” Amelia could hardly suppress a giggle. This was too good.

"Amelia Bellweather." Her voice was light, airy, filled with a bubbly anticipation. She practically bounced as she took a seat. The glossy magazines seemed to gleam, the muted art on the walls now vibrant and interesting.
