Sarah hummed a cheerful melody as she walked to meet Michael at their favorite café. The sun felt warm on her skin, and the world seemed to be bathed in a golden glow. She felt a lightness, a sense of pure joy. She was excited about their conversation.

Michael was already there, sipping his coffee. "Hey!" he said, smiling.

Then, he said something. Something in his language.

Sarah was startled. The air became electric.

"Ich liebe dich, Schatz," he said, shyly. "I love you, darling."

A thrill shot through her. She felt a silly, almost childish, pleasure.
