She quietly closed her bedroom door, tiptoeing to her bed. She collapsed onto her front, burying her face in her pillow and squealing.
‘Sarah?’ She looked around, seeing Vivienne sit up.
‘How did it go?’
‘Vivienne, I love him!’ she exclaimed, rolling onto her back and throwing her arms up over her head.
She glanced cautiously at the door, clasping her hand over her mouth and giggling. Vivienne scampered across the room to Sarah’s bed.
‘It was so wonderful. It was as if I were in a dream!’ She placed her hand over Vivienne’s. ‘He told me he loved me!’‘He did?’
Vivienne’s eyes were wide as she slapped her hand over her own mouth.
‘Yes. He did. I’ve never felt this way before.’
‘Oh, Sarah, I’m so happy for you!’ Vivienne shrieked.
‘Shhh’ Sarah hissed, and she and Vivienne giggled softly.
‘I can’t believe it,’ she continued. ‘I’m so in love! I can’t understand it; it’s all just racing through me! I’m excited and terrified all at once! I just want to shout, and tell the world, ‘I love him!’ a million times over and over again!’
