She danced with the crowd, swerving the other enthusiastic dancers, spinning through swaths of smoke and blinking lights. Her legs were moving without her help, she felt like dancing on clouds. She couldn’t pinpoint which was carrying her higher, the bassline or the heavy rush of dopamine. She felt every muscle in her body and simultaneously, there was no body left to bind her to the ground anymore. With every song, her mind slowly rose to the ceiling, watching herself from above, relishing in her regained joy. She had craved this kind of freedom for such a long time.
After what could have been years, she finally came back down to the floor, as her lungs yearned for a breath of fresh air. “This night is perfect”, she thought with a beaming face, twirling in a childlike manner, while she was passing groups of chatting people on her way out. And while she thought of all the joy this night had offered yet, she noticed her standing at the wall, looking directly at her with a twinkle in her eyes. For a moment in this perfect night, the starry sky seemed to smile with them.
