A powerful exhilaration coursed through Olivia as she sprinted down the sidewalk. Every muscle in her body buzzed with energy. She wanted to run, to shout, to simply *experience* everything.

Mr. Harrison, her neighbor, always seemed so…average. Worked a regular job, drove a sensible sedan.

Today, a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce was parked outside his house.

Olivia stopped, her breath catching in her throat. She found herself utterly captivated.

Mr. Harrison, seeing her, leaned out the window and smiled. "Morning, Olivia! Off to the opera?"
