ASHLEY'S POV
It felt strange to be happy again.
Like…really happy.
The kind that snuggles into your heart like a ray of sun and lifts your shoulders. I hadn't ever felt this manner before. My heels tapped gently on the excessively shiny floors of the office block, and for the first time in weeks, I wasn't worried about a thing.
The lobby did not change, smelled the same: freshly ground coffee, floor wax, printer paper. I was different, though. I was lighter. I was fine.
I smiled as I walked past the glass walls, giving small waves to my clients. I knew they noticed. I could feel their eyes. Normally, I'd feel awkward, but today? I didn't care. Let them look.
When I reached my floor, my secretary, Lisa, raised an eyebrow upon seeing me. “Ahah, well, well, well. Look who’s glowing.”
