57 The Email

Dawn's eyes were wide with surprise. It was an email addressed to her blog email ID. She tapped to open it. All the sappiness that had drained her energy from her body was washed over by a feeling of ecstasy. Hopelessness was so tangible after her horrid encounter at the office but after reading the email she felt at ease. There was lightness in her chest and she held her arms to hug herself. Removing the cover from herself, she squealed with joy. She sprang out of the bed, wore a light t-shirt and went to her computer with a wide grin. She couldn't believe how a little message had made her day. How soon all the negativity that was bringing her down purged, and positivity flowed in. 

Cole, who was studying in the adjacent room, came to her and watched his sister with interest. She was singing loudly. He clasped his hands to his chest and raised his eyebrows. "Dawn, is everything okay?" he asked, leaning on the door.
